A grandmother has been caught on camera punching a robber to help men chasing him to catch him. The video shows the pensioner punching the man as he sprints through a busy Chinese station with several people in pursuit. In the footage the man can be seen springing through the large hall, past a bemused crowd in Xuzhou, Jiangsu.
As he nears the grandmother she turns to look at him before jabbing her hand out – it’s not clear if she puts it out in shock at the sudden appearance of the man. Either way her jab connects with his forearm and chest and the momentum causes him to lose his balance. He flys into a row of trolleys nearby, giving the men pursuing him time to catch up and apprehend him.
