Knife weilding crab threatens chef

A knife-wielding crab threatened a chef who was trying to cook it.

The ten-legged crustacean was furious after being transported to a restaurant in Brazil and picked up a knife in self-defence at the earliest opportunity.

Video footage has circulated online of the crab scuttling sideways with the weapon grasped between its pincers and as the chef closes in, it waves the knife in a threatening manner, in the hope he will scare him off.

One YouTube user commented: ”Don’t eat the crab in Brazil…it can be a little…tough.”

It is not known whether the crab survived.
