No matter how carefully you walk on the road — taking care of your possessions — you cannot rule out the possibility of getting robbed. This is precisely what was about to happen to a woman – reportedly in Rawalpindi, Pakistan – when two thieves tried to snatch her purse as she was walking on the road, reports the Indian Express.

In the CCTV footage of the incident, which is now making rounds on social media, one can see the thieves trying to snatch the woman’s bag as she was walking on the road with someone. Although they were riding a motorcycle, luck was clearly not on their side. Their vehicle skid and they fell on the ground. Taking advantage of this, the woman ran after them and, after getting hold of one of them, slapped and hit him. Although he managed to run away, the woman then grabbed hold of the other guy, by which time others gathered around and helped out.

According to a Geo News report, the incident happened on 18 January in the afternoon.
