The clip begins with a robber entering the store while the woman is wiping it with a cloth in her hand. He wears a black hoodie and is armed with a knife. The woman was seen attacking the thief with just a cloth and cleaning spray as the robber attempted to attack the cashier upon entering the store.
The robber tried to cover his face when the woman hit him on the head. Another man ran to catch the thief as soon as he discovered the theft was taking place. However, the man in the black coat managed to break free from his encirclement and escaped.
The footage has received more than 1.3 lakh views and more than 3,000 likes since it was shared on Twitter on Friday.
It can be seen that users appreciate the woman’s bravery in the comment section of the post.
One user asked and wrote, “Is that a spoon in his hand?” while another said, “Long live the Turkish bakery.”
The third user simply said, “Brave lady.”
