PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police release video of an attempted robbery that ended when the victim opened fire on the suspects.

The incident occurred Friday afternoon at the Chelten Deli Market on Chelten Avenue.

That's when police say the worker pulled his own gun and fired three shots at the suspects, who quickly ran out.

No one was hurt.
