Would-be bus robber defeated by lady’s handbag

CCTV footage from a bus in Argentina shows that the people on this particular journey were in no mood for nonsense. The video from earlier this month shows a man board the bus and attempt to rob the driver at knifepoint. The driver is having none of it, and unceremoniously boots him away. Then, to add insult to injury, a heroic woman approaches the front of the bus and delivers the decisive blow with her handbag.

Cue the hapless robber sloping away, no doubt trying to pretend he didn’t want to catch that bus anyway, as you do.
