WATCH: Shocking footage of woman fighting back robbers

One of the perpetrators flees with the woman's handbag, while the other culprit fought the woman for what looks like her cellphone.


Shocking footage of a woman’s escape from two attackers has surfaced on social media. The video shows a woman, holding her bag while travelling on a walkway on her way to work in Muizenberg, Cape Town.

Two men pounce out of a silver Mercedes vehicle to grab the woman’s belongings. One of the perpetrators flees with the woman’s handbag, while the other culprit fought the woman for what looks like her cell phone.

The woman puts up a fight as one of the men tries to rip her cellphone out of her hand. The phone falls to the ground during the scuffle and the suspect grabs it and makes a run for the car. The woman chases the man to the car and pulls the door of the car wide open. The men sped off in the silver vehicle.
