WATCH | 'Hero' saves shop owner from panga-wielding robber in Cape Town

[schumi]

A man shopping for cool drink has been hailed a hero after coming to the aid of a shop owner who was held up by a panga-wielding assailant in Cape Town.


Dramatic CCTV footage showed Werner Pierre Raal calmly pick up a metal rack and deliver a series of blows to the robber, who was eventually overpowered and fled from the store.


Raal, speaking to TimesLIVE on Wednesday, said he went to the shop to buy Coca-Cola.


“It’s the shop where I normally buy my Coke. The people always treat you with the utmost respect when you walk into that shop,” he said.

In a video shared on social media, the shop owner sits on a chair behind the counter. A man with a beanie takes out what appears to be a panga from his bag and takes a swing at the proprietor.

I find it amusing how casual Raal walks into the shop, looks at the situation, thinking 'what the hell is happening here' and then calmly walks to the front etc.
