‘I had real fear that even if I gave him the money, he would still shoot if that’s what his intention was,’ newsagent Mark told the publication.
The footage shows Mark throwing a chair towards the armed thief, attempting to knock the gun out of his hand but the other hooded thief then grabbed the chair and bashed him with it.
Mark’s wife gave the thieves a small amount of cash before they fled the scene.
Both of the men are still on the run and were described as having a larger build and the gunman was about 170 centimeters tall.
Mark received stitches in the top of his head at Prince of Wales Hospital according to The Daily Telegraph.
