The shocking pictures above taken by a member of the public shows the moment a
suited City worker attempted to tackle a machete-wielding robber to the
ground. Pedestrians looked on in horror as three masked raiders smashed
their way into Carr Watches and Diamonds near Liverpool Street station
in central London during a daytime robbery yesterday Jan. 22nd. As the gang tried
to make their getaway on two mopeds, the have-a-go hero jumped onto the
back of one of the robbers and tried to drag him to the ground. The raider
then threatened the man with a long knife before running off into the
busy streets. Two of the suspects got away from the jewellers while
another was arrested nearby. (Source - UK Daily Mail) See the dramatic photos after the cut...
Pictures show the brave man running up behind the raider and attempting to tackle him to the floor
The man then jumps on the raider before
retreating when he is threatened with a two-foot long machete - the
robber then runs away
The man and a builder who came to his aid had to back off as the raider brandished a machete which he pulled from his trousers
Police arrested one man after the raid and he has since been charged - two others got away on mopeds and are still at large

So silly,what was he thinking?
Linda and u forgot to add "please don't ever try this" pls next time add biko
Boldness in action
May your life be ran the way GEJ is running Nigeria
If. He had tried this in Nigeria he would have been killed without any measure. An act of Bravery can turn to an act of stupidity in a split second. He has mind ooo!
What if he was James bond? It is allowed Biko
He is a hero. if you are not a robber yourself, you shld salute him courageous attempt to stop crime.
He is not frustrated but stood to prevent crime. Na robbers like you them go butcher like bird flu chicken, amen.
That was a big risk he took
Lwkmd...some comments I read here doh, quite funny. The man really pull stunt, fear factor things
Your comment shows the kind of person you are.
Boko haram
*if i'm the armed robber
Junior you have stopped reading your macmillan textbook
Try this with Nigeria rubbers, they won't waste time, before cutting off your hand
Hey, that's just two minute to my workplace! Always thinking that d way they display those watches that are so expensive will entice crooks one day.
hmm, no be me ooo but him try.
Hmmmn
Ah ah.. 4 eastern Nigeria - Aba, Onitsha, Owerri and Coal camp in Enugu, dem dey pursue robbers with matchete steady, catch dem and burn dem. D white guy try jare but onlookers na cowards cos dem 4 join forces wit d white guy.. Matchete no be gun oh
Dis is risky ooo. He is brave buh life is more important. #oneandonlynwa@gmail.com#
Brave but risky move!
Correct rough play o, shuooooooooo see cinema o
i saw the video on FB,the thief initially wasnt withthe matchet. it was when the guy in suit tackled him that he brought the matchet out from his trousers. another man wanted to help the guy in suit but they both retreated when he brandished d matchet.
u go fear Tim cruise.
RARE BREVITY BUT TOO RISKY.
he is a very lucky man
He tried
Brave gini my sister ?
The fool was high on cheap drugs !
Both the robber and suited lunatic are clowns !
He wants to be hero by force
Yes o Daniels this man was brave in a foolish way
Brave!!
See very stupid comments..... In fact most people commenting here are dumb... If many Nigerians were like this man.. Things will b different. Instead they sit at home and blame GEJ
It's just an act of bravery and not frustration. I'm sure a sniveling Coward like you would have shit in your pants while running. Msheeew!
U are just a very senseless, big idiot. Stupid local tout like u. It's nobody's fault dat u n ur entire family members no get liver. Dis type, u nd ur papa go dey Fite over hu go hide under bed when thief show una house. Mumumumu!
I won't be surprised he gets a written warning or even a fine from the police... Have-a-Hero is quite a dangerous move...
UK Tog
I've shot a wedding at a hotel right next to that jeweller and I remember looking at the watches on display they range from £10k up wards...why is that guy trying to be a HERO.. The insurance companies would pay... Why risk your own life... The police will come down heavily on him...
UK Tog
If you were the robber abi? Aee your yeye thought train.
Guy dem dey sell suya for london? Would u like to be cut like one? No.next time let it go o.
he is indeed brave,but it was risky though...
