Footage released by police in the UK shows a lone woman fend off two robbers in broad daylight as people walk past, seemingly oblivious.

Camilla Rodwell was attempting to withdraw money from an ATM machine in Suffolk at around 10:45am on December 22nd, when would-be robbers approached her.

In the video, one man can be seen distracting Ms. Rodwell while another attempts to push buttons.

Despite being pushed away, the two men persist until a passerby intervenes.

According to Breaking News, a spokesman for the Suffolk Police said:

“The victim pushed him back before another man then approached her at the other side and tried to take the cash and bank card but was also fended off, before a member of the public then intervened and the men walked away in the direction of Station Road.”
