Workers fight back against robber
A would-be robber got a rude awakening in Toledo, Ohio.

TOLEDO, OH (KTRK) -- Gas station employees in Ohio had a big scare after a would-be robber jumped over the counter and attacked a pregnant clerk while she tried to change out a cash drawer.

In shocking surveillance video, the crook tires to grab the cashier after hopping the counter. As she struggles with him, another worker comes to help her.

He wrestles with the guy, taking him to the ground so another employee could hit in with a fire extinguisher.

When he tried to make a run for it, another worker grabbed him by the pants in an attempt to hold him down.

Eventually, the man escaped. Police are still looking for him.
