A shopkeeper bravely tackled a gunman who was trying to rob his shop today.
The shop owner was with his wife in the Costcutter store in Woodhall Terrace, Thornbury, Bradford, when he was confronted by a youth armed with what was believed to be a handgun at 12.45pm.
Inspector Howard Buckley, of Bradford North police, said: "One male entered the store, pointed a gun at the owner of the shop who activated a panic alarm.
"The suspect then ran out of the shop pursued by the proprietor.
"The owner collared him a short distance away and dragged him back to the shop."
Neither the shop owner, who is believed to be in his 30s, nor his wife were hurt.
A youth has been arrested in connection with the incident and was being quizzed by police tonight.
Anyone with information about the robbery should call Bradford North police on (01274) 376259.
