Store owner Johnny Nguyen is then heard asking the suspects to leave, but the two juveniles did not comply, as one suspect can be seen grabbing what appears to be a tip jar from the counter.

“I was scared for my life,” Nguyen told the New York Post. “When they came in, one of them had a bag in front of him like he had a firearm or something.”

As the suspect is leaving, Nguyen tells him he can take the item but asks him to “leave the coins.” The juvenile did not comply and proceeded to grab more items before running out of the store.

At the same time, the other suspect, wearing the front-facing backpack, is seen hopping over the glass counter. Immediately, Nguyen grabs a knife from near the register and stabs the suspect multiple times.

“I was in a flight or fight mode,” the store owner told Fox 5. “A lot of adrenaline going through my body.”
