Robbery foiled by off-duty police officer

Footage from a security camera shows the moment robbers attack a fuel station on Tuesday night in Floriano, Brazil.

The pair of criminals approach the premises whilst the attendants were sitting on chairs.

They arrived on a motorcycle and wear helmets and then announce the robbery. One of them descends from the vehicle and walked to meet and rob the attendants.

In a dark car (image in the background), a group of people appears and seeks to defend themselves against possible lost bullets.

Out of nowhere, a cop who was near the scene perceives the action of the criminals, runs towards them, even slips and falls, but quickly gets up and makes two gun shots, but neither one of the shots hits the escaped duo.
