I'd link a relevant article but it has the stabbing in it.

But the dude is the shop owner. His livelihood was being threatened so there is no imagined threat. One of them came in wearing a bag on their front and had their hand in the bag, as though they may have been hiding a gun.

They then stole the tip jar, or tried to. He asked them to leave the coins, take the cash which they seemed to return to the counter to do. The video in the article doesn't show if they ultimately absconded with the tip jar, but it says they did.

So after being robbed, the other guy jumps the counter and that's when the shop owner fought back.

So again, it wasn't "an entirely imagined threat"

Common sense, really. Its really crazy how out of whack some posters are here. The problem with common sense is that not everyone has it.
