The clerk produced his own larger knife in reaction, but the thief wasn't immediately scared off. He entered the closed-off room with the register and cigarettes that the clerk was standing in."Everyone was kung fu fighting .. that clerk was fast as lightning," Huntsville Police Lt. Michael Johnson said in an email.
The clerk followed, and found a woman outside as the robber went back into the store to swipe money out of the cash register, which he disconnected by severing the power cord with his knife. The clerk told investigators that he wanted to “visibly mark the vehicle so police could easily recognize it," Johnson said.
