7News Just InThe moment a meat cleaver-wielding thug traumatised workers at a Western Sydney kebab shop
Video of the moment a meat cleaver-wielding thug traumatised workers at a Western Sydney kebab shop during a violent robbery. He waited until the popular food stop went quiet, then struck, grabbing cash before escaping on foot.
It's four am closing time at Mount Pritchard's Kebab King when a masked man holding a meat cleaver bursts through the side door. He pounces on the unsuspecting employee, weapon raised. With a shopping bag in hand, he demands the worker put cash inside.
For something like this to happen is terrible for this community. It's never happened in twenty years. I've been here and we are devastated by what's happened.
Despite the frightening encounter, the worker fortunately wasn't injured. It's still unclear how much cash the thief grabbed before he made a run for it.
This Blake's Toronto and Adala and he gets a meat cleaver there and says he hand the money over.
You know what's the society coming to with concerns?
Crime in the area is on the.
Rise, car chases, everything's going and I think it's unfortunately, it's going.
To get worse, locals say. This popular late night spot is usually packed with people looking for a midnight snack, but the armed thief waited until the customers had cleared out, catching the worker off guard.
He's lucky he didn't end up in hospital, and we do feel sorry for them. We're just glad that they're safe and they were able to go home.
