Brave shop staff have been commended by a judge for fighting off a knife-wielding robber -- with a STOOL. Drug addict Dean Spiller, 32, was desperate for a fix and stole from his parents before carrying out armed raids of two convenience stores. But he was thwarted at Star News and Booze in Bedminster, Bristol - after shop staff grabbed him in a bear hug and clobbered him over the head with a STOOL. Dynamic duo Zafar Iqbal and Madeen Khan then made a citizens arrest as a customer entering the shop called police to the scene.
