A robbery turned into a knife-slash-machete fight at a gas station in Alabama. By the looks of it, the clerk wasn’t going down easy.

Lindsey Connell reported that surveillance cameras show how a daring robbery played out at a North Huntsville gas station.

It happened early Saturday at a Conoco on Pulaski Pike, and the clerk made for a surprising turn of events.

According to Police, Seth Holcomb walked up to the counter to make a purchase.

He left the store then came back, as if to make a second purchase. That’s when he pulled out a knife at the counter.

What he didn’t expect was that the clerk would pull out a machete of his own.

Holcomb then tried to run away. But the clerk remotely locked the door.

That’s when a full-on knife fight broke out, tearing up the store.

Holcomb eventually escaped the store by throwing something through the window but the clerk chased him outside.

That’s when the second suspect comes into play.

Lady Nicholson was waiting outside the store near the suspect’s car.

She allegedly also pulled out a knife, when the clerk chased the first suspect out and also started fighting with the clerk.

Holcomb ran back inside the store and took the cash drawer out of the register.

But the clerk didn’t make the suspect’s getaway easy.

Pounding on their car with his machete he told police that he wanted to leave enough marks on the vehicle.

So that they could easily recognize it as a dangerous chain of events. Cameras documented the whole thing.

The clerk did what he could to defend the business and himself.

The suspects were able to get away, but they were arrested by police a short time later on North Memorial Parkway near a Burger King. They’re charged with robbery and other offenses.

The clerk was not injured.
