According to police in Philadelphia, an armed suspect was met with an unexpected challenge on Tuesday evening when a would-be robber entered Takka’s A’s Pizza and Grill at around 9:30 p.m.
WPVI-TV reports that employees at the Philadelphia pizza shop took matters into their own hands.
Instead of fleeing or submitting to the robber’s requests, the workers collectively decided to put up a fight.
With the help of his employees, the owner of the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood pizza shop managed to wrestle a gun from the suspect’s hands.
Police told WPVI that the suspect suffered an injury when his gun went off during the altercation, striking him in the foot. No one else was injured in the scuffle.
WPVI reported that the suspect was taken to Temple University Hospital for treatment. Charges against the suspect are pending, police said.
