Footage was shared online showing an attempted robbery in a store that led to a physical altercation between the robber and the store owner, both of whom were armed. The incident, which occurred in a foreign country, was captured by the store’s security camera during broad daylight.
The video begins when, seconds before the masked robber enters the small establishment while carrying a backpack. The perpetrator can be seen wearing a disposable mask, sunglasses, a black hat, a black sweater, and jeans.
The owner, a man wearing a blue shirt and black pants behind the counter, exchanges words with the robber as he enters. Posing as a customer, the perpetrator approaches the counter and continues to speak to the owner. The suspect is evidently enquiring about the items in the store as he points while the pair speak.
At one point, the owner approaches the item that is the subject of discussion and then goes in another direction and fetches an item from the shelves. However, the suspect continues to gesture in the direction of the first item, and after exchanging more words, the owner sets down the item he got and goes in the direction of the first product. In doing so, he turns his back to the suspect, and the robber chooses that instant to ditch his bag and leap over the glass counter.
The robber brandishes what appears to be a knife while the owner withdraws a firearm. The pair subsequently starts wrestling, and shots are fired. The owner pushes the robber over on the glass display, which shatters and continues to discharge his weapon in the direction of the robber.
It is unclear if the robber received injuries because as the video progresses, the owner holds him at gunpoint while he stands. The video concludes shortly after the owner exits the store with the gun still aimed at the robber, who fetches his belongings and slowly leaves the store.
