Right away, one of the armed men jumped over the desk counter wielding a hammer, and another one ran around the desk to get behind it, holding a hammer as well. What a scary sight!
That is when the security footage catches Denis coming behind the counter to start fighting off one of the robbers. This 83-year-old man has some courage!
Denis and the robber lay their hands on one another and get into a bit of a scuffle, and then Denis chases two of the robbers out the door with a stool.
The manager of the establishment, Tim Murphy, also held off one of the armed robbers and pushed him out of the store.
