A shopkeeper nicknamed ‘Rambo’ told how he fought off a gun-toting robber who has been jailed for eight years over the terrifying raid on his store
. Khalid Mehmood, 65, disarmed the masked thug with his bare hands after the pistol was pointed at him during the hold-up in Edinburgh.
Khalid, a former amateur wrestler who has been known as Rambo for decades, told the Record: “I’m glad he got eight years. It was overwhelming at the time, but I would do the same again. “He was quite strong but I got the gun off him. He turned to take his knife out at the same time but dropped it. When he picked it up, I was already hitting him with his gun. The gun was a very heavy, old-fashioned type.
McKenzie fled on a bike and was later detained by armed cops at a Granton flat. Khalid underwent a double knee replacement two years ago, which left him unable to run, but was still able to fend off his attacker. “Later a neighbour of mine, who was ex-Army, and I got involved in a disagreement and the Land Rover got burnt out. We had a fight and I won and the name ‘Rambo’ has stuck ever since.”
