Shopkeeper Chases Off Knife Robber

An heroic shopkeeper who was threatened by a knife-wielding robber ended up chasing the attacker away armed with a bottle of wine. The thug got away empty handed

Jasvinder Bains, 40, was not deterred despite a seven-inch blade being waved in his face and being ordered to empty the till.

Instead he grabbed a £4.99 bottle of Blossom Hill wine by the neck and chased his attacker out.

The father-of-four, who has run his shop in Lowestoft, Suffolk, for 17 years, said: "I've never had anything like this happen to me before and it was a bit of a shock.

"I didn't have much time to think. I just wanted to protect myself and my money and to get him out. I work 16 hours a day, seven days a week to keep this place afloat.

"I'll be darned if someone is going to walk in off the street and take from me - I've four children and a wife to support."

I dont think so, racist people then would have claimed that he tried to inflict serious harm on a "innocent" person.
