It was an action-packed morning for one security guard who foiled a gunpoint robbery of his armored truck minutes after grabbing breakfast at a Williamsburg deli today, cops and witnesses said.
The guard and his partner left the Late Night Deli on Metropolitan Avenue near Oliver Street when a masked gunman approached as they were entering their truck at 6:34 a.m.
The plucky guard fought off the crook and during the scuffle, a shot was discharged from the perp’s gun, cops said.
Luckily, no one was injured but the brazen bandit managed to snatch the guard’s weapon before fleeing. After the dramatic turn of events, one shaken guard raced back into the deli asking for help.
“They left and two minutes later he ran back and said call the cops,” said worker Mohammed Alh. Cops are searching for the suspect, who is in his 20s and was dressed in dark clothing, cops said .
