This would-be robber didn’t bank on the sales assistant meeting fire with fire when he went to raid this New York store.

The incident happened last month – a glitch in the camera settings wrong indicates it is 2011 – and the New York deli worker reacted quickly when an armed man entered the store and fired a shot at the wall and demanded money.

Rather than bow to the demands, the 24 year-old worker decided to use the machete which the store owner had bought just a month previously for security purposes.

You live by the sword, you don’t get robbed by the sword.
