October 20, 2007 - Suffolk County police say a feisty Long Island store clerk refused a gunman's demands for money and instead chased him out with an ax.
The suspect entered the Southhaven Convenience store shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday, wearing a mask and demanding money.
The clerk, 5-foot-4 Hafize Sahim, retrieved the ax from under the counter and began swinging it, chasing the man out of the store empty-handed.
Sahim, 27, told reporters Tuesday that she thought the gun was a fake, which is why she fought back.
As she put it: "I said to myself, 'I'm not giving him money.''
