A shopkeeper bravely stood up to a knife-wielding robber who demanded cash but was told: "I don't have that kind of money." Nicole Johnson brandished a huge knife during the raid at Leon's Pricewise, Radford Road, between Radford and Forest Fields.
But the worker stood her ground - even holding a chair up to defend herself as Johnson stabbed out with the menacing blade on June 29 this year. Despite Johnson stopping her from pressing the panic alarm or calling police, the woman refused to give in to her demands.
Johnson managed to open the till herself and grab cash and bottles of booze before escaping. The worker did not give up there - flagging down a passing police car and pointing out 21-year-old Johnson, of Trowell Road, Wollaton.
