An elderly couple stopped robbers who tried to take a $48,000 Rolex from a woman’s wrist in a dramatic altercation. Onlookers were shocked when the incident occurred in a nearby shopping area.
Two attackers reportedly approached the couple and targeted the pricey watch, according to witnesses. The woman’s fast thinking and unexpected athleticism caused the would-be robbers to flinch in horror as she twisted her arm sharply, reportedly by 270 degrees. The assailants then fled on foot without anything after the couple successfully repelled them.
Police are currently looking into the incident after reviewing local CCTV footage. Despite having minor wounds, the couple refused on-scene medical assistance. Authorities are asking anyone with knowledge to come forward as they begin their search for the suspects.
