A daylight robbery attempt took a dramatic turn when a well-known criminal was shot after attacking a motorcyclist in broad daylight. The incident, captured on CCTV and now circulating online, shows the victim sitting on his bike while scrolling on his phone moments before the ambush.
The attacker suddenly approached, armed with an axe, and delivered a heavy strike aimed at the victim’s head in an effort to disable him and grab his bag. What the robber didn’t anticipate was the motorcyclist’s protective helmet, which absorbed the blow and prevented severe injury.
Shaken but alert, the victim immediately fought back. He reached for a firearm and opened fire on the fleeing attacker, managing to hit him before he could escape with the bag. The injured thief staggered off and was quickly pulled into a waiting getaway vehicle by accomplices who sped away from the scene.
Authorities are now probing the incident and working to identify the group behind the attack. Early information suggests the suspects belong to an active robbery gang that has been troubling the area in recent weeks.
