A young woman brandishing a knife entered a DVD rentals shop in Naxxar at about 6 p.m. yesterday demanding cash but ran out empty-handed.

There was no one in the shop but for the attendant, who sternly told the woman he was not prepared to hand over anything to her.

As he opened a drawer, the woman rushed out of the premises, possibly thinking he was about to wield a weapon.
