A thief has died while robbing an Indian restaurant in Melbourne’s South-East on Saturday.
Two thieves struck at a popular Indian restaurant, Indian Mahal in Baxter, Melbourne’s South-east on Saturday night when the restaurant worker was closing his shop around 11 pm.
The pair threatened the worker and got into a scuffle, bit his thumb and tried to steal his car when one of the robbers is believed to have slipped on the footpath and hit his head.
