A suspected robber was body-slammed by his would-be victim in San Leandro, California, last week. The dramatic moment was captured on the surveillance footage which has now gone viral on social media, reports News18.
Robber slammed to ground
The 32-second video shows a man walking to the rear of his SUV as two robbers, one armed with a gun, approach him. The unalarmed man quickly punches the armed attacker. He then picks him up and throws him to the ground, sending his gun clattering across the ground.
The man then kneels on the attacker who begins to squeal, while his accomplice yells, “Let him go!” The two attackers then run and flee in a white Kia, leaving the gun in the middle of the street.
The video has gone viral on social media, with netizens comparing the victim-turned hero to Captain America and the Incredible Hulk.
