A man decided to rob an Internet café using a sugar cane stick, but the plan didn't work out, Anhui TV reported Friday.

The robber was found trying to sneak into the Internet cafe and pretending to talk with a bar worker. When the worker paid no more attention to him, the robber got behind him and started hitting the worker's head with a sugar cane stick.

The worker soon grabbed the stick and hit back. The robber told the police that he tried to rob the Internet cafe because he was running out of money, according to reports.
