A Clifton gas station attendant chased off a robber with a squeegee Monday afternoon.

Kuljit Singh told NBC 4 New York he was outside the Delta station on Broad Street when a man asked for a cigarette. The man pulled out a gun and chased Singh toward the station's store.

Video shared by Singh shows him grabbing a squeegee in a container outside the store entrance and swinging at the robber, hitting him several times before he ran off.

The robber left without getting any cash, Singh told NBC 4 New York.

Station manager Patrick Doherty said Singh got one last swing in and broke the windshield of the robber's vehicle.

Clifton police told New Jersey 101.5 they are investigating the incident.
