Petrol station worker fights off robbers with candy

A petrol service worker in Australia was working the night shift, and in the early hours of the morning a man wearing a balaclava and holding a metal bar jumped out the car and aimed straight at him. 

Instead of panicking or running away, the courageous service station attendant threw bags and fistfuls of candy at the robber as he entered the store entrance.  

The robbers quickly gave up, running back into their getaway car. 

Candy saved the day!
