philadelphia — a customer at a city grocery tackled an armed robber and beat him with a can of applesauce when he refused to drop his gun, police said.
the suspect shot himself in the head during the struggle, and passed out after the 66-year-old customer administered four blows to the head with the mott's applesauce.
"finally, the guy passes out," said det. curtis matthews. "there's blood everywhere — on the floor, all over."
about 15 customers were in gomez grocery in the city's east germantown section when the gunman walked in sunday afternoon, jumped atop a small freezer and pointed the gun at store owner eddie gomez, police said.
customer thomas santana, who is 5-foot-4, grabbed the 6-foot-1 gunman from behind when he was on the freezer, and with help from gomez knocked him down.
the suspect, 23-year-old thomas reyes, was in stable condition at a hospital, and was expected to be charged with attempted murder, attempted robbery and other charges, authorities said.
