Watch This Female Clerk Fight a Gun-Wielding Robber

KEYSVILLE, GA -- It’s almost hard to watch. But, amazingly, a Georgia convenience store clerk captured on video fighting with an armed robber not only escaped uninjured, but she ends up chasing the would-be robber away.

The video, released by the Burke County Sheriff’s office, shows an armed robbery attempt that happened at about 11 a.m. on Tuesday, reports WRDW-TV in Augusta.

The suspect, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, walks up to the counter of the store and pretends to buy a soda, only to then pull a handgun on the woman working the register.

Almost immediately, she starts fighting back, even though the gun is leveled at her and only inches away.

She slaps the handgun, trying to take it from the male attacker, slaps him in the face and, eventually, hits him in the head with the cash register tray before grabbing a hammer.

As she reaches for the hammer, the robber can be seen running away, with the woman behind the counter giving chase.

Police, who did not identify the clerk, were continuing to look for the suspect Wednesday afternoon.

Keysville is in Burke County, just south of Augusta.
