Robber clobbered, clerk OK in foiled Vegas heist

A clerk clobbered a robber in the head with a metal baseball bat, foiling an early morning robbery attempt at a Nevada convenience store, police said Wednesday.

“He whacked the guy good,” North Las Vegas police Sgt. Tim Bedwell said.

The robber was knocked unconscious and hospitalized in critical condition with a serious head injury after the botched robbery just after 2 a.m., Bedwell said. He was not immediately identified.
