Coffee halts would-be robber at Tim Horton’s

The woman said she could see a black-handled knife in his coat sleeve. She grabbed the hot tea and coffee and charged the would-be robber.

“I grabbed that coffee. I told him you ain’t getting nothing and I threw that coffee on him and he jetted out of here running,” the employee told dispatchers in a 911 call.

A co-worker called 911. The man was last seen running south from the restaurant across the railroad tracks, police said.

He’s described by police as a man in his late 40s between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches and weighing about 150 pounds. Police said they are trying to collect surveillance video of the incident.
