A robber was approached and arrested in flagrante by a pair of plainclothes police officers who caught the moment in which the delinquent, armed with a fully loaded . 38 caliber revolver, tried to steal the motorcycle of a hard-working family man.

The incident took place in front of Mercadinho Soberano, in the Água Fria neighborhood, in Recife.

People who were inside the supermarket filmed the entire action, from the attempted robbery to the moment when the police came into action, protecting the worker and arresting the criminal.
