Raju runs a service station near Caboolture in Queensland. Last week his store was attacked by a masked man.
The attacker had a machete and demanded money. But he had not picked an easy target this time. The shop owner he was trying to rob startled him with his response.
The man, Mr. Ratan Raju, picked up things and threw at the bandit. He picked up a container of Milko's and launched it at the robber's head.
The robber was taken aback. Out of options, he rushed to the door. But Raju had no intentions to stay back. He ran after him with a packet of Pingles and pot of honey.
CCTV footage shows Raju taking the fight outside.
“I wacked him on his head and then he ran further so I ran closer to the garbage bin and I gave it to him on his back,” Ratan told 7 News.
“He was coming back with a knife, so I got this chair and I said ‘come on bring it on’.”
Ratan has done it before. He has stopped a robbery earlier too.
"I work 14 hours a day, seven days a week, no one is just going to come in and grab my sweat and my blood off me," Raju told 7 News.
