Members of the public have helped foil an attempted armed
robbery at an entertainment centre in Melbourne's southwest.
Police believe a group of men, armed with a knife, threatened
staff at the centre in Springvale about 11pm (AEDT) on
Thursday.
Two patrons and a security guard confronted the robbers,
sparking a struggle.
The patrons overpowered one of the offenders and restrained
him until police arrived and arrested the 19-year-old.
One of the patrons received a laceration to his face.
Another man fled the scene.
