A convenience store owner who confronted a would-be robber in the US ended up giving him $40 and a loaf of bread after the man broke down in tears.

When the store owner grabbed a rifle, the would-be thief dropped to his knees and begged for forgiveness, claiming he was only committing the crime to support his starving family.

The store owner was so taken with the would-be robber's plight he gave him cash and a loaf of bread, but only if he promised never to hold up a store again.
