All superheroes don't wear capes: ATM guard foils robbery attempt despite being shot at

All superheroes don't wear capes.

You think that statement is overrated? Let us prove it is not.

Here's an an old man, guarding an SBI ATM in Delhi's Majra Dabas, who is nothing less than a superhero in his own right.

Yesterday two bike-borne criminals attempted to loot the SBI ATM this old man was guarding. Both the thieves were armed.

A CCTV footage now released by ANI showed how the assailants stopped beside the ATM, shot the unassuming guard in his leg and tried to storm inside the ATM.

BUT THEY FAILED.

Because, like we said, the ATM guard is a superhero in his own right.

Despite being shot at, the old man blocked the assailant who tried to enter the ATM, caught hold of his gun and pushed him aside. The thief then shot in the air, called for help and his partner could be seen trying to enter the ATM.

Realising there is one other man inside the ATM, the criminals try to flee. The guard, still being dragged around by one of the assailants could be seen trying to convince them not to do more harm. He could also be seen folding his hands when one of the thieves managed to get hold of his gun.

The thieves flee the spot and the guard, now robbed off his gun, could be seen collapsing in front of the ATM, and quite visibly, in a lot of pain.
