Dustin Hoffman Stops Robbery
Hmm. How Does My Hair Look, Mr. Robber?

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. (AP) - When a robber started taking cash from his register over the weekend, Dunkin' Donuts employee Dustin Hoffmann fought back by clobbering the man with a ceramic mug. But Hoffmann admits he was less worried about the stolen cash than how he might look on the video-sharing site YouTube.
"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, so I just grabbed the cup and clocked the guy pretty hard," Hoffmann told The Record of Bergen County for Tuesday's editions.
The incident happened Sunday evening when the robber came into the westbound Route 46 Dunkin' Donuts and ordered a pastry, according to Elmwood Park Police Chief Donald Ingrasselino. Once Hoffmann opened the register, the robber jumped over the counter and started taking cash.
Police said Hoffmann grabbed the man's wrists while hitting him with the mug, which is used to hold tips. Hoffmann managed to scare away the robber, who made out with just $90 and left behind a baseball cap police are holding to test for DNA evidence.
Police haven't arrested anyone, but described the robber as a white male in his 30s, with medium build, around 6 feet tall. The man, who police believe is also responsible for two other recent Dunkin' Donuts robberies in the area, has black hair and long sideburns.
As for YouTube fame, Hoffmann said he'll put up the surveillance video himself when it becomes available.
"There are only a few videos like that on YouTube now, so mine's going to be the best," he said. "That'll teach this guy."

It's sad that he was more concerned about the video than doing what is right. Sounds like if it had not been on tape he would have done nothing. It's all about the 15 minutes of fame. 0 -
Yes really, watch the video, it is the clerk that hits him there is no 3rd person. quote:Originally posted by tacking1

you mean dustin hofman didn't hit him?0 -
Checking the site linked below, I found no indication that Dustin Hoffman (aka Sam Etic) ever worked for Dunkin Donuts. Must be some other guy trying to get a film career.

Holy Toledo, you mean that it wasn't the real Dustin Hofman, but an imposter calling himself Dustin Hoffmann?
Gosh, I thought that the actor had given up a megastar film career and gone to work for Dunkins.0
