This is the bizarre moment a robber punched a shop assistant in the mouth and then stopped to check he was alright. <br /><br />Anucha Pasaen, 22, walked behind the counter of the 7-Eleven store and thumped Annop Samuksaman, 35, during a night shift last Thursday (December 5).<br /><br />CCTV shows how the attacker then consoled the terrified worker by putting his arm around him and using a tissue to stop the flow of blood from his lip. <br /><br />Anucha also called over several other staff to help the injured man. He then asked for 3,700 THB in cash (92 GBP) from the till, before apologising and making a praying motion to the shop worker.<br /><br />Police arrived at the scene in Roi-Et, northern Thailand where they were bemused by the "kind" thief. He was later arrested in neighbouring province Nakhon Ratchasima and identified as the suspect in CCTV.<br /><br />Police Lieutenant Colonel Prasit Thepteelek said: "The kind thief was arrested at a checkpoint while he was running away from Roi-Et. Officers there picked him up for drugs and were alerted to the arrest warrant for the robbery.<br /><br />"We have already coordinated with the police in Roi-Et and the thief will be sent back so he can be charged over the theft from the supermarket.''
