Video Captures Retired Marine Taking Robber’s Gun, Beating Him With It

By The Daily Caller. A would-be armed robber picked on the wrong bartender early Tuesday morning when he tried to rob an Altoona, Pennsylvania, bar only to be disarmed and beaten with his own gun.

The yet-unidentified black male suspect walked into Ajay’s Bar around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, armed and demanding money from the bartender, WTAJ reported.

Surveillance video posted by Liveleak shows the bartender going to get the money, followed by the suspect. But as he was about to hand over the cash, the bartender — who happened to be a “highly trained” former Marine Corps combat veteran — promptly disarmed the would-be robber.

A shot was fired toward the ceiling before the bartender hit the suspect in the head with his own weapon, which police say had actually been reported stolen months earlier.

Bar Robber Stopped by Retired Marine Veteran

By WTAJ. Police are looking for a suspect who attempted to rob a local bar, but was stopped by their bartender.

Altoona police say a suspect came to Ajays Bar about 1 a.m. this morning with a gun and demanded money. That’s when the bartender, a retired marine Corp combat veteran, stepped in.

Police say the suspect pointed the gun at the bartender demanding cash from the register. The bartender then went to get the money, and as he was handing it to the suspect, the bartender disarmed them. That’s when a single shot was fired towards the ceiling of the bar. The bartender then proceeded to hit the suspect in the back of the head with the gun and punch them repeatedly in the face.

“I am very familiar with him. He is highly trained. The suspect definitely picked the wrong guy to mess with,” said Sgt. Matt Plummer, Altoona Police Department. (Read more from “Bar Robber Stopped by Retired Marine Veteran” HERE)
