This is the moment a Russian shopkeeper, 55, disarmed an armed robber, 46, and hit him with the butt of his gun as she forced him out of her supermarket.
The hero has not yet been identified, but she is being praised for her bravery.
She quickly reported the incident and the robber was detained in Yubileiny, Vershino-Darasunsky district of the TransBaikal region, one of the coldest regions in the world.
The woman was ‘scared for her life’ when the masked intruder entered her shop with an air rifle.
What followed is out of view of the security camera, but the woman handed him her change – about £7.50.
As she handed it over, she took the gun from the unfortunate robber.
As they struggled, the shelves in the store were seen shaking.
Not only did she manage to grab the gun, but she also ripped off his mask, reports say.
