This is the moment a brave woman tried to stop three masked robbers from raiding a spa in Manhattan this past weekend.
The three perpetrators entered the Rescue Spa on East 19th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district shortly after 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon, according to police, where they stole over $3,000 worth of products.
At first, the trio looked to be browsing the shelves nonchalantly, but it quickly became apparent they were filling their pockets with merchandise.
Upon realizing the crooks' true intentions, a woman stepped forward to confront one of them, who knocked a stack of merchandise to the floor as he shoved her away.
A few moments later, the thieves made their way to the exit, pockets full of loot, but the woman pursued them to the door where security footage appeared to show her attempting to pull one of the fleeing criminals back into the store.
The masked man kicked and shoved her once again, before haring off with his accomplices to complete the 14-second shock heist.
It is the latest in a long line of smash-and-grab robberies blighting the Big Apple, a trend which has spread seemingly from California where larceny has become almost commonplace.
