Two men carrying a knife and an electronic stun gun stormed the Planet Sushi restaurant in the city's Latin Quarter on Sunday night, demanding money from the till.
But the team of Japanese staff turned on the men, stabbing one to death with a fish knife used for preparing sushi dishes, while the other was pinned to the ground outside the restaurant.

Don't mess with the Japanese. It doesn't matter if you have a knife and a stun gun. I sometimes wonder what is going through the minds of these robbers. Probably not much by the looks of it.

The robbers may want to stay away from Bennihana as well.
The can flash the knives pretty well there.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Japanese were “taken in for questioning”. I sure hope that doesn’t mean that they will be charged with anything!

Don’t mess with guys who come from an ancient martial tradition and who make their livings with razor sharp knives in their hands.

Actually, it turns out the waiters mistook the robbers for the food supply delivery.

Too bad they didn't get really nasty and use some of the bits of the blowfish that are supposed to be thrown out. Nothing like a little neurotoxin to slow down a robber.

Those sushi knives are pretty sharp. Wouldn't take much of a cut to ruin a perp's day.

They will be charged. Little right to self defense in the UK, and even less to self defense with deadly force.
