Two armed men attempted to rob a man at gunpoint. Luckily, the man remained calm, waited for the right moment to overpower one of the thieves, and slammed him to the ground. 

If you watch the video with the sound on, you can hear the thief begging the man to stop, and soon after, the robbers flee empty-handed.
