A heroic Beach Haven man thwarted a robbery by standing up to four masked men who stormed into his family dairy on Saturday night.
After taking one glimpse of Manav Prasad - a 110kg, 21-year-old rugby prop, power-lifter and ex-boxer - and the would-be bandits fled.
Prasad was closing up the Kauri Park Superette with his 20-year-old sister around 7.35pm when the intruders came in.
"At first I thought it was some last-minute customers, but when one of them jumped up on the counter holding an empty bag I knew I had to act," Prasad said.
