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.
Many kitchens are like that. There are easier targets.

Actually, I used the Dialectizer, linked above.
Say what? What kind of cleaver does this guy use a gumby blade?
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.
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.

GOOD!!! Hope it REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hurt!!!
A little 'I was there' parting souvenir?
Darn!! I SURE hope you're wrong!.
Three points for the throw.
Minus two points for missing.
“Apparently the chef’s meat cleaver struck one of the robbers in the back...”
Thwack! ping.
“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?
Me too.
Especially if the cleaver was used for cutting up chickens first. Nothing like a little salmonella to help things along.
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
Yeah, sure.
I’m not sure why, but it kinda reminds me of Steve Martin with an arrow in his head.
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.
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.
