A Brisbane man has been hailed a hero after foiling an armed robbery and having a shotgun pointed at his face.
CCTV footage shows Andre using a bar stool to knock down a would-be thief wielding a machete at the Lord Stanley Hotel in Brisbane's east on Monday night.
"I didn't see the other guy with the shotgun until I knocked out the guy with the machete," Andre told 9 News.
The man was in the gaming room when he heard the unusual noise coming from the front bar.
"I was in the back gaming room and I heard voices yell 'stay down' and 'where's the money'," Andre said.
