Robber brought down with pickle jar
UPI.com - MILWAUKEE, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- A gunman who tried to rob a Milwaukee grocery was subdued when a customer hit him with a pickle jar, police said.
Lugman Asad told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he was eating lunch in the back of the L&A Food Market around 3 p.m. Tuesday when he came out and saw a man pointing a gun to the head of his son, Wisam, the store owner.
Asad said he grabbed the gun from the man as he fired a shot.
Three or four customers who were in the store at the time jumped on the gunman and one hit him with a pickle jar, police spokeswoman Anne Schwartz said.
The man was arrested at the scene.
