| Video ©AA 2012 www.deadlinenews.co.uk A SHOPKEEPER has told how he fought off a robber brandishing a knife -- with nothing more than a plastic stool. Akbar Ali was threatened by the thug as he served customers in his West Lothian corner shop. The man waved an eight inch blade at Mr Ali and demanded he hand over cash. As the robber tried to grab the till, Mr Ali launched into action seizing a fold-up stool and beating the man with it until he fled empty handed. During the terrifying ordeal, which happened in Fauldhouse at around 5.45pm on Sunday, several customers remained in the store. |
