CORAL GABLES, FL – A store clerk and a customer fought back against an armed robber at a store in Coral Gables, Fla., and the entire incident was caught on a security camera.

Surveillance video shows two men fighting back after an armed man demanded the two men to get on their knees (and somehow still give him the cash). The Coral Gables Police Department said 47-year-old Jovan Reddick, who apparently bit off more than he could chew, now faces charges for armed robbery.

The video shows Reddick, a landscaper, coming to the Downstairs convenience store at roughly 4:40 a.m. with a hooded jacket covering his face. After he motions and tells the men to get on the ground, the man in the dark shirt charges him and both the clerk and the customer start throwing bolos.

“He just responded, and that’s just what happened, and both he and the other guy were able to take control of that situation,” said Lauren Poole of the Coral Gables Police Dept.

The two men were able to get Reddick on the ground until police showed up, guns drawn.

According to the arrest report, Reddick told officers he had a gun in his pocket, but that it was all a joke.

“It was very brazen,” Poole said.
