A 39-year-old customer intervened, disarmed the man and held him on the ground until police arrived. Nobody was injured. Police officers arrested the suspect inside the supermarket, seized the knife and opened criminal proceedings for aggravated robbery. After a blood sample was taken, the man was admitted to a psychiatric clinic.
