Robbers shoot at man's head

An armed robber shot at the head of a man who stood up to him during the robbery of a NSW south coast club, police say.

Thankfully the bullet missed its mark, slamming into the wall behind him.

Two men entered the Kiama club late on Saturday night, threatened staff with a pistol and a knife and demanded cash.

"Officers have been told a male patron challenged the man armed with the gun, and in turn, he pointed it towards his head and pulled the trigger," police said.

The shot missed and hit the wall behind the man.

The robbers then ran away and police arrived shortly after.

Investigators are looking for the men, one described as Caucasian, about 165cm tall, and with a thin build and blond hair.

Police said he was wearing a black hooded Adidas jumper, dark tracksuit pants and white Dunlop Volley shoes.

The second robber, also Caucasian in appearance, was about 175cm tall, with a thin build and short brown hair. He was wearing a black jumper and black tracksuit pants, and carrying a blue sports bag.
