Security video shows workers fighting off man in bikini trying to rob donut shop


California police released security video from a bizarre incident where a man wearing a bikini and a sun hat tried to rob a donut shop in Los Angeles.
The incident unfolded at a Winchell's donut shop in the Harvard Heights area on May 28. Video obtained by KMPH-TV shows the bikini-clad man in the kitchen pointing what looks like a gun while the workers toss objects at him, including cash.
At one point, the officer fires a shot at the man but apparently misses him.
As he leans down to pick up the cash, they ram him with a cart.
Surveillance video from outside the store shows one worker grabbing a chair and throwing it at the man before he flees from the scene.
Police said they were later able to find the man in an alley of a nearby apartment complex in July. Body camera video shows the confrontation as an officer tries to get the man to stand down.
At one point, the officer fires a shot at the man but apparently misses him.
Officers were able to subdue him through the use of a taser and arrested the man. They said they were able to recover a knife as well as an airsoft replica handgun from the area.
They later identified him as 41-year-old Christopher Hall. He was charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
