Dustin Hoffmann, a Dunkin' Donuts employee, was reported to have whacked a robber on the head with the store's tip cup, after the thief attacked him and started taking cash from the register. "What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head," Hoffmann said. "So I just grabbed the cup and clocked that guy pretty hard. "
