Two robbers picked the wrong bar to rob late last month in Australia. Inside the bar was a biker gang. One of the robbers ended up hog-tied and in a hospital.
The men wore ski masks and had machetes. They told the people in the bar to lie down as they tried to rob the cash register.
In another room of the bar, about 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club were having a club meeting. The bikers jumped up to stop the robbers.
One robber escaped by jumping over a balcony. The other tried to run through a service entrance, said the club's president, Jester.
"We caught him at the fence, crash-tackled him and hog-tied him to the ground," Jester said.
Police captured the other suspect nearby.
"I don't think he did his homework very well," Jester said of the ringleader. "He picked the wrong night." (STAFF WRITER, WITH AP)
上個月底，澳洲發生了兩名搶匪搶錯酒吧的烏龍事件。當時，酒吧裡正好有一支重型摩托車隊在聚會，其中一名搶匪淪落到雙腿被綑綁，受傷送醫的下場。
這兩名搶匪頭戴滑雪面罩、手持大砍刀闖進酒吧，命令所有人趴下，試圖搶劫收銀機裡的現金。
當時酒吧裡的另一個房間，大約有五十名「南十字軍巡遊者俱樂部」重機車隊的車友在聚會，這些車友撲上去制止搶匪。
酒吧負責人杰斯特表示，其中一名搶匪從陽台跳出逃逸，另一名則試圖衝過便門逃跑。
杰斯特說，「我們在圍牆旁逮到了搶匪，並將他的雙腿綁起來，壓制地上。」
警方在附近逮捕到另一名搶匪。
「我覺得他（搶犯首腦）事前沒有做好功課，」杰斯特說：「他挑錯晚上了。」（美聯社／翻譯：楊鴻泰）
