Elderly Chinese Worker Successfully Chases Armed Robber Away With a Broom

On Tuesday night, Peter Vuong was working his shift at a Chinese restaurant in Queensland, Australia, when a masked intruder suddenly showed up and pulled a gun on owner the owner, identified as Demi.

Vuong stepped in and told the man they had no cash. He recalled the incident (via Yahoo! News):

But for some reason, Vuong thought the man’s gun was fake, so he went to kitchen and took a broom.

Vuong apparently used the broom to hit the intruder right in the face. He then chased him away while shouting, “Robber! Robber!”

The intruder was later seen by a surveillance camera riding a bicycle away from the scene.

“He was scared and ran away,” Vuong added.

This is certainly the first time we’ve seen a broom used against an intruder,but Chinese restaurant workers have a knack for defending their work with various items.
