NOT TODAY, PUNK! Female Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Robber With A Giant Knife In Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Police Department needs your help finding a suspect in a vicious armed robbery.

The suspect is accused of holding a young woman at knifepoint at a market on James Wood Boulevard in Westlake. The clerk at the market said it was a terrifying moment when the man tried to rob her.

"It's really [scary]," she said. "I think all people [are scared] when [seeing] knives or guns or something like that."

The young woman asked KCAL News to not use her name or face during her interview but said the man demanded the money in the register and threatened to kill her if she said anything.

"It's super, super [scary] to me because I don't see nothing when he put the nails in my tummy," the clerk said.

The terrified woman screamed with the knife pressed against her body, but mustered up the courage and strength to take the knife away from the would-be robber before chasing him out of the store.
