A would-be robbery victim turned the table on a robber in a case under investigation by Fargo police.
A gas delivery driver reported to police that he was confronted early Saturday morning by a man holding a knife when he was at a south Fargo convenience store.
The man with the knife, described as standing about6 feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds, told the driver to empty his pockets.
The driver reached toward his jacket pocket and said, "You brought a knife to a gunfight," according to the report given to police.
At that point, the would-be robber fled quickly on foot, Lt. Pat Claus of the Fargo Police Department said. The man was described as having short hair, dark and curly, and was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, according to the incident report.
