A man thwarted an armed robbery early Saturday morning when he disarmed his assailant of a shotgun, then broke the windshield of his assailant's car, according to New Orleans police.
About 5:05 a.m., the man was walking in the 1900 block of Burgundy Street when he was approached from behind by a man wielding a shotgun. The gunman pointed the weapon at the man's face and ordered him to turn over his money.
Video released by police shows the man pausing for a moment, then quickly disarming the gunman and chasing him down the street.
Moments later, the man was approached by two men in a black, four-door sedan. The driver of the car said, "Give me my gun back and I'll give you your phone that you dropped," according to police.
The man used the shotgun that he was still holding to break the rear window of the car, and the men sped away on Frenchmen Street, turning onto St. Claude Avenue, police said.
The man with the gun was described as about 16 to 20 years old, 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black hat and a black T-shirt, police said.
Police are investigating a similar incident that occurred just around the corner, in the 800 block of Touro Street, on Friday about 12:30 a.m.

There is sound with the video.
There’s a man who understands action / reaction.
Another of Obozo feral children acting out.
Picked the wrong person to rob.
Here it is on youtube:

Is “dark complection” the new PC term for Black?
The thug came back to negotiate for the shotgun.
Hah! If there was any ammo in the shotgun, I would have been hard pressed to not use it.
Everytime you see or hear a story like this - ask: “Was the perp a member of the NRA?”
You wouldn't know that from reading the article alone, without watching the video. The perp's race is notably absent from the description.
Picked a crazy white boy.
Race?
It should not be important. In most things it is not that relevant.
But when it comes to crime like this, it unfortunately is.
PC says ignore it, but Reality shows it cannot be.
A number of commenters at the youtube site think it is either faked or staged. I guess they can’t comprehend a white man protecting himself and then going on the offense.
LOL, well one of the commenters said it had to be fake because the white guy couldn’t possibly run with such huge balls.
The defensive key here, will be missed by most viewers.
The victim’s hand position.
They were already up, near his face, allowing for rapid defensive/offensive move.
NOT down near his waist.
Chalk up another one for the good guys! Does the guy who took the gun get to keep it?
I pass close to that street & location sometimes. I need to keep gun in hand when driving around there
