Baz Rizk, owner of the Friendly Grocer in Creastmead, Queensland, successfully defended his store against an ax-wielding would-be robber on June 28, as seen in this CCTV footage.

Spotting the masked intruder, Rizk fired back at him with an arsenal including cans of tuna, some baby formula and some tubes of Pringles. His coworkers then chased the man out of the store carrying baseball bats.

Nine News Queensland said the robber got away empty handed. Credit: Baz Rizk via Storyful
