New Delhi: The Gods literally came to the rescue of a shop owner in Australia.
Melbourne-based fast food owner of The Curry Grove, which sells Indian food, put off an attempted armed robbery by throwing a Ganesh idol at his attacker when he was threatened with a knife and asked for cash, news agency PTI quoted police as saying.
"The offender has then made a demand for cash but the owner, a man in his mid-40s and the only person in the shop at the time, threw a statue at him," police was quoted as saying.
They added the alleged robber promptly fled the premises following the resistance.
According to The Age, police could not confirm whether the statue depicted a Hindu deity, but believed to be the elephant-headed idol Ganesh.
The paper also said that the shop owner, believed to be aged in his 30s, fled empty handed on a motorbike parked outside.
