An elderly grandfather has been hailed a hero after fighting off a knife wielding robber at the petrol station where he worked armed only with a bottle of wine.
Pensioner Derek Greenwood, 73, grabbed masked Kieran Devlin, 27, as he threatened the terrified female cashier with a knife and demanded money from the till.
Devlin quickly turned on him brandishing the large kitchen knife, but Mr Greenwood broke away before returning seconds later armed with a bottle of wine and continued to defend his 25-year-old colleague.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
