Shop worker fights off armed robber using kung-fu moves

This is the moment a brave employee fought off an armed robber using Kung Fu skills at an ice cream parlour in the US.

Shocking video footage shows the ​Baskin-Robbins worker taking on an armed thug at the store in Seattle.

The video shows the suspect threatening two of the ice cream parlour's employees with a large knife.

One of the workers behind the counter managed to grab the knife and throw it at the suspect who then tried to climb over the counter to grab cash from the till.

The male employee fought back and kicked the robber away from the till.

The female worker named Leslie told Cleveland19.com: “My co-worker grabs his knife and kind of throws it at him, but then he turns around like he’s going to leave but then he comes back and tries to jump over the counter.”

As she called police, her co-worker managed to block the robber multiple times before kicking him away from the till.

The thief ran off having stolen just $6 from the till.

None of the employees were harmed in the incident.

According to reports, it was not the thief’s first robbery.

He was also seen on CCTV in another Baskin-Robbins, while two days earlier he apparently robbed a Subway restaurant.
