A man attempting to carry out an armed robbery on a corner shop, ended up pinned to the floor and “begging” to be released by singer Robert Plant – a black belt in karate.

CCTV footage showed the man threatening the shop owner and an assistant with a gun, before being thrown to the floor by Robert Plant. Police later arrived, alerted via the shop’s silent alarm.

Plant wrestled the attacker into submission using a leg lock that left the attacker pleading to be released. “I saw this big bloke waving a gun at the shop keeper’s head” said Plant. “I put a hurt on him, and he started crying like a baby. Woo Woo, let me go, I’m sorry. Well I told him too late mate, we are waiting for police. Then he recognized me and asked me what’s a bustle in a hedgerow. I smacked him with a bottle for that one. And he was wearing a Rolling Stones shirt to boot!”

Despite the assailant’s pleas, Plant held him down for about 20 minutes – refusing to let him go until police arrived. “It turns out the guy was a big Led Zeppelin fan” said Plant. “He kept asking me about a Led Zeppelin reunion, and that got me angry, so I would choke him a little harder every time. Good thing the cops showed up when they did because the guy asked me how do I write songs. I was going to break his neck.”

The incident happened in the branch of Premier Supersaver in Evington, on the outskirts of Leicester. Plant popped into the shop for a bag of crisps, some bangers & mash, and a pack of fags.
