An Albanian has become a hero at Wilmergen canton Aragau in Switzerland, after interfering during a robbery in the pizzerina where his daughter works and arrived at the raiding knife.
The event took place on Sunday evening, when a masked man entered the pizzeria and attempted to rob money at the knife’s threat. Zelal Selim was outside the bar when he noticed what was going on inside, reports 20 minutes.
I took the knife so she wouldn’t kill my daughter.
I slowly went in and I intervened to grab the knife so he wouldn’t kill my daughter, Selim told us about a local television.
He confessed that the knife was only about two and a half inches [40 to 50 cm] from his daughter’s head, and she had begun shouting: A knife, a knife!
Selim relates that he caught the thief for the lock and twisted his arm behind his back, then reaching for the knife, taking the video.
The thief, who was in disguise, had gone to the back of the pizza, almost to the pizza oven. After Selim’s intervention, he left the club, while the Albanian followed him abroad.
The author then left with an electric scooter, but he failed to leave for long. According to the Aragau Cantonal Police, a police officer in office stopped him a little later and arrested him.
The suspect is a 36-year-old Serb from the region, who has been taken into custody.
During the clash with the robber, Selim suffered slight injuries on both hands.
We’re shocked, it was very scary, he said.
His daughter, meanwhile, has declared that her father’s intervention was crucial.
Fortunately, my father managed to resolve the situation because when the police arrived, there could already have been a massacre, he said.
The police are investigating whether the robber even robbed Beck.
The case occurred just a few days after another armed robbery in a bakery, where a knife was also used. In that case, the author had run away with money and had not been caught.
The Aragau Cantonal Police are investigating whether the two robberies are related to each other. Authorities have indicated this is still part of the investigation. /Telegraphy/
