A split-second decision may have saved a woman’s life after a man with a knife entered a mini market — then she turned the tables on him
Surveillance footage from Amaya’s Mini Market on Feb. 9 shows a customer purchasing items. He lingers, asking the cashier to get him something from the back wall behind the register, then he makes his move.
He pulls out a large kitchen knife from the plastic bag he was carrying and points it at the cashier’s waist. “He attacked the lady telling her to open the register and the lady didn’t want to open it,” Rene Amaya, the store owner, said. Amaya owns the mini market and says his employee held the knife handle to keep her attacker from stabbing her. She tries to scream for help and is somehow able to wrestle the weapon away, quickly turning the tables and chasing the attacker from the store.This happened in the middle of the day, just after 2 p.m.
