Clerk gives robber a knuckle sandwich and a zap:

A robbery attempt in Houston turned into a knuckle sandwich for the suspect. Sandwich store clerk Yava Matthews punched the man in the mouth as he tried to get away with some money. Matthews said the man Monday night lunged over the counter and grabbed her cash drawer. Matthews said her "initial response was to hit him. So I hit him."

Matthews said the two were then "tussling, tussling and tussling," so she asked customers and others witnessing the struggle if anyone had something to restrain the man.

Reported somebody offered handcuffs. Another person produced a Taser, as the fight moved outside.

Matthews used both on the man before police arrived and took custody of the suspect.

Bet he thinks twice about trying to have it out with a woman.

Kudos and good karma to the clerk and helpful citizens!

I dont know how smart this really was. The good guy didnt actually move to avoid the woman and child. If she hadnt stepped aside he may well have been shooting right through them. He also used his female coworker for cover, which im not sure I approve of. All in all I think this might have been a situation where it was better to hand over the money and then play it by ear. Too many people standing in the line of fire to shoot it out IMHO.

Thats my only problem with this. Personally, if they had given him the money, and the clerk followed him out and shot him in the open without anyone else around I would be totally comfortable with that. Frankly he could have shot him in the back for all I care.
