VIDEO: Clerk turns tables on Texas robber

MESQUITE, Texas (WTVD) -- Surveillance video from a 7-11 convenience store in Mesquite, Texas shows a masked man coming in with a gun.

He grabbed the clerk and pushed him toward the front counter where he demanded money.

As the clerk gave him money and then cigarettes, the robber hits him on the head with the gun trying to hurry him up.

That's when the clerk turned the tables - fighting back and taking the gun from the robbery.

At one point, he's pointing it at the man's chest. But then the gun drops and the men go at it, throwing punches and kicks, both trying to get the gun.

The clerk ends up with it, and that's when the robber asks for mercy. The worker then leads the man out of the store at gunpoint.

Police are now looking for that man.
