WILKES-BARRE - Randy Wolfe routinely works on cars when he can't sleep,
with little notice of the hour. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He went to his Spring Street Garage at 204 Spring St. early Saturday
morning to get a jump on the day's work. He was just about to leave at 3:40
a.m. and was about to set the security alarm when he was startled by a man in
a hooded pullover and black jeans with a knife, police said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It happened quickly in slow-motion, Wolfe said as he recounted the story he
told to police. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The man pulled him around to the side of the building and demanded his
wallet. Wolfe didn't argue. He handed over more than $1,000 in cash and checks
from the previous day's business without question, and then he made the
mistake of turning around and looking. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "I turned my head for a second and he started swinging the knife," Wolfe
said. "I covered my face and throat and fell down to the ground." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The man started to flee, but returned again to continue his attack. The man
sliced Wolfe's arm and kicked him several times. Then Wolfe remembered he had
a gun strapped around his ankle. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "I carry a gun everywhere because you never know these days," Wolfe said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He fired a single shot at the man. The knife-wielding attacker gave a swift
kick and the gun tumbled from Wolfe's hand. He struggled for his gun and fired
two more shots at the man as he ran away with the stolen cash. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "I can't believe he tried stabbing me after I gave him my wallet and the
money," Wolfe said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wolfe and his partner previously installed security cameras several years
ago but rarely used them. Two weeks ago, Wolfe noticed someone cut the camera
wires, so he replaced everything and had the system working. However, police
were unable to get a clear image of the man who attacked Wolfe. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In the six years that he's been in business at that location with a partner
who owns the neighboring Spring Street Pre-Owned Auto and Tire Sales, Wolfe
has had few problems. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The 30 stitches in his left arm will leave a scar and it will always remind
Wolfe of the man who created it. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Every time I close my eyes I see that bastard's face," he said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
