UK, This is the moment a knife-wielding robber terrorised supermarket staff - but was arrested by police after falling over a cake display.

James Lewis stormed the Co-op supermarket armed with a terrifying 10-inch kitchen knife.

The 22-year-old demanded cash while threatening shocked shop workers, and even chased one petrified till worker around the store.

He even pelted police officers with produce from the shelves in a desperate attempt to rob the shop.

But his brief reign of terror ended after he fell over a cake dipslay.

Police then shot Lewis with a taser, and then made an arrest.

Appearing in court today, Lewis was jailed for three years after he pleaded guilty to attempted robbery at the supermarket in Shrewton, Wiltshire.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: "A PCSO had to bravely face the suspect wielding a knife and defend himself using a shopping basket.

"The suspect was disarmed and arrested.

"Today he was sentenced to three years in prison.

That taser must hurt like a bitch.

Are those police officers in the black?

What a country where criminals with knives can intimidate innocent people and police can't do anything about it.

Not police. Rent-a-cops, like mall security guards. They don't get to carry any potentially lethal weapon like the real cops do.
