WTF! THIS IDIOT TRIED TO ROB A STORE WITH A STICK!

A bumbling Long Island robber brandishing a tree branch failed miserably at a stick-up of a convenience store, police said.

Michael Zimmerman was busted Thursday night after going out on a limb in thinking the branch would persuade a clerk at a 7/11 in Central Islip to hand over cash, according to Suffolk County police.

Zimmerman whacked the clerk several times with the bough, but the clerk refused to give up any dough.

When the clerk fought back, Zimmerman dropped the branch and fled on his motorcycle in the parking lot.

An off-duty Suffolk County Police Officer driving past the store thwarted the getaway after he spotted the clerk and several other men chasing Zimmerman.

The cop managed to block the motorcycle's path and detain Zimmerman until his on-duty colleagues arrived, police said.

Zimmerman was charged with attempted robbery. He is slated to appear in criminal court in Central Islip Friday.

IMAGINE THAT! IT'S A STICK UP! LOL!
