A hail of knives sent two would-be robbers fleeing from a Trenton, N.J., pizza joint.

Police say the thwarted holdup occurred Tuesday when the pair entered the restaurant and shouted "Don't move."

When a gunshot somehow went off, hitting a brick wall in the pizzeria, police told The Trentonian newspaper a guy in the kitchen decided to start throwing knives at the robbers.

Police say "numerous, numerous knives" were thrown, scaring the holdup men away.

No one was injured.
