Man fought robber due to YouTube fears
An Elmwood Park, N.J., doughnut store employee who used a tin cup to try to foil a robbery said he fought the robber so he would "look good" on YouTube.
Dustin Hoffmann, who has worked 10 months at the Dunkin' Donuts shop, said he did not want to look scared if surveillance tape footage of the robbery made its way onto the Internet, The Bergen-Hackensack (N.J.) Record reported Wednesday.
"What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head, so I just grabbed the cup and clocked that guy pretty hard," Hoffmann said Monday.
Police Chief Donald Ingrasselino said the robber escaped with $290 in cash, but left his baseball cap behind.
Hoffmann said he plans to put the video on YouTube himself as soon as police manage to download the footage into the digital format.
"There are only a few videos like that on YouTube now, so mine's going to be the best," Hoffmann said. "That'll teach this guy." // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
