A bungling armed robber was foiled by a brave shopkeeper who trapped him under a store's roller shutters as he attempted an "Indiana Jones-style slide" to escape.
Malcolm Trimble, 30, was captured in comical CCTV footage getting stuck underneath the metal shutters after targeting a store in Durham.
He had walked into the shop last month carrying a kitchen knife concealed in his sleeve before picking up a four-pack of lager and threatening the shopkeeper.
But the quick-thinking worker fled the premises and held the door closed while he calmly activated the security system to lower the shop’s roller shutters.
