Caught on camera: man fights off armed robber in Sydney's west

A brave service station attendant has turned the tables on a would-be robber in Sydney’s west and it has all been caught on camera.

Just after 8.30 last night, a masked man armed with large knife burst into the service station at Fairfield.

He demanded money but the attendant wasn’t prepared to hand it over.

Instead, he reached for a baseball bat and chased the offender out of the store empty handed.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
