When a masked thug wielding a giant machete ran up behind a petite woman at a deserted cash machine late at night he probably thought the odds of a successful robbery were in his favour.
But the hooded attacker’s intended victim had other ideas.
Dressed in a red coat and black leggings, the 25-year-old woman batted away the huge knife held to her neck and put up a struggle worthy of a professional wrestler, during the attempted attack in Fuzou, Fujian province.
Grabbing the handle of the machete and clinging to her attacker while screaming for help, she refused to give up even when thrown to the floor, according to website fznews.com.cn
And to add insult to injured crook’s ego, the yelling victim then gave chase herself and, with the help of two passers by managed to pin him down until police arrived.
The sheepish attacker was marched back to the bank by police before being taken away.
