A chef at a Stockholm restaurant rushed out of his kitchen on Thursday afternoon and threw a meat cleaver at a departing thief as his restaurant was robbed for the second time in a week.

The robbery took place at 2pm at a restaurant in Hässelby Villastad in west Stockholm. Two masked robbers held staff at knifepoint and forced them to hand over all the cash in the till.

"Apparently the chef's meat cleaver struck one of the robbers in the back, but they were able to disappear from the scene. The same restaurant was robbed a week ago and I guess the staff were just tired of it," said police spokeswoman Christina Johansson.

Police had not made any arrests in the case by late on Thursday afternoon.

Why not?

[Yossarian]

That’ll leave a mark....

[ridesthemiles]

There really is no reason for anyone in Sweden to rob anyone else. They are on the dole from the cradle to the grave, are they not? sarc/

In case you need to translate some English to Bork-bork.

Or stick it with Cleaver...

[MaryFromMichigan]

Appears the chef was a cleaver man.

Perp is lucky not to have ended up as a Sweeney Todd meat pie.

Per the translator :D

[tuckrdout]

He’s been trying to catch that chicken for years....at least 30.

Even Better: The Dialectizer which can translate any website into Swedish Chef language.

Nuff said.

"A meat cleaver? How come they only let ~me~ work with a spatula?"

[JRandomFreeper]

These bozos wouldn't have survived doing that in my kitchen at the sports bar. My cooks were some of the most depraved immigrant pirates to ever hold a chef's knife. Someone tried to mug one of them at about 1:00 am when he went out for a smoke. The kitchen emptied to the alley and the mugger left later via ambulance.

Many kitchens are like that. There are easier targets.

Per the translator :D

Actually, I used the Dialectizer, linked above.

"Apparently the chef's meat cleaver struck one of the robbers in the back, but they were able to disappear from the scene."

Say what? What kind of cleaver does this guy use a gumby blade?

[Frenchtown Dan]

OK, but that doesn’t rhyme with the old tv show.

I wonder if he actually got the cleaver to sink in the guy?
Shouldn’t be hard for a doctor to figure it out after the article was published.

[Tex-Con-Man]

This may have been the first time since I first began lurking here more than 12 years ago where I actually started laughing out loud before I opened the thread because I knew it would be filled with muppets...

[Frenchtown Dan]

It doesn’t say that the blade sunk in the guy, just that he was struck by it. Could have just been it by the handle.

Obviously an amature cleaver hurler.

"Apparently the chef's meat cleaver struck one of the robbers in the back, ..."

GOOD!!! Hope it REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hurt!!!

[tflabo]

Leave it to Cleaver. LOL

A little 'I was there' parting souvenir?

[jackibutterfly]

"It doesn’t say that the blade sunk in the guy, just that he was struck by it. Could have just been it by the handle."

Darn!! I SURE hope you're wrong!.

[MindBender26]

Three points for the throw.
Minus two points for missing.

[PLMerite]

“Apparently the chef’s meat cleaver struck one of the robbers in the back...”

Thwack! ping.

[OCCASparky]

I never would imagine him capable of that...

“This may have been the first time since I first began lurking here more than 12 years ago where I actually started laughing out loud before I opened the thread because I knew it would be filled with muppets...”

- Nice to hear.

Anyhow, fellow Freeper, I’m Swedish, I hate thieves and I just love throwing meat cleavers all around.

Will I become a saint?

[Frenchtown Dan]

Me too.

Especially if the cleaver was used for cutting up chickens first. Nothing like a little salmonella to help things along.

[Oratam]

Anthony Bourdain said as much in Kitchen Confidential. A very entertaining read.

Well geez, I could have done that, or thrown a head of lettuce at the guy! No wonder why these guys keep coming back. He might as well have made them a picnic lunch too! lol

[Frenchtown Dan]

Yeah, sure.

I’m not sure why, but it kinda reminds me of Steve Martin with an arrow in his head.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Will I become a saint?

I think the going rate is still three miracles (Card tricks don't count)...But maybe a Catholic freeper can update since my catechism is a little...er...uh...rusty.

[Frenchtown Dan]

Yeah, you know how these things go.
You throw a cleaver at me, and then I come back with a machete, then you have to get something like a sickle, before you know it you’re gonna need a chainsaw.

Dirty Harry would never approve.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“Obviously an amature cleaver heaver!”

Fixed it.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Were Amish yoots responsible?

[Frenchtown Dan]

Does have a better ring to it.

[almost done by half]

Well if they had caught any of these guys on security cameras the chief could post pictures around town announcing the thieves were engaged to some of the ugliest women in town. That would be good for some laughs! lol

[Frenchtown Dan]

Should’ve used the cleaver for a circumcision. Whether or not he ever had one before.
