A pensioner beat up a thief who stole his phone

A surveillance camera installed in a pharmacy located in the Jardim Novo Mundo area in the city of Goiânia (Goiás state, Brazil) captured an attempted robbery of an 81-year-old pensioner.

A thief chose the wrong victim when he decided to steal a mobile phone from the back jeans pocket of an elderly pharmacy customer, who foiled the robbery and wrestled the hesitant intruder to the floor.

Military police officials said they received a call about a robbery in progress. Upon arrival at the crime scene, law enforcement officers detained the suspect, who was attempting to leave the facility.
