    A man armed with a semi-automatic handgun was arrested from an Indian restaurant in US' Vermont state after a standoff with police, a media report said.
     
    Workers and customers in the restaurant in Barre town panicked and took cover during the 45-minute standoff, the Times Argus reported.
     
    Sunny Singh, who works at Rickie's Indian Restaurant and Shell Station, said the arrested man was a regular at the restaurant that serves Punjabi delicacies.
