Jewellery shop owner scares off robbers with sword

An Indian-origin jewellery shop employee defended his shop from robbers by wielding a sword. The bizarre incident took place at Ashok Jewellers in Mississauga, Toronto.

Reportedly, an employee and a customer were standing inside the shop when four masked men broke the store window with a hammer. One of the men even held a gun. However, the shop owner had no intentions of staying calm.

The shop owner reportedly wielded a sword and brandished it against the men. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera. From the video, the employee could be seen waving the sword in the air, beating furniture with it and threatening the intruders.

Stunning video.
