Clerk Bashes Wold-Be Robber with Hammer

Police said a convenience store clerk fought back during an attempted robbery early Sunday in Ankeny. The clerk said a man who was about 6 feet tall and who appeared to weigh about 250 pounds came into the store wearing overalls and a bandana on his face. The clerk said that when the man ordered him to open the cash register, he took a hammer from the counter and hit the robber on the side of the head. After being struck, the would-be robber left the store without getting any money.
