Fortunately, a male shopkeeper was there in time to hold back the glass door. But he could not win against the two men in the game of tug-of-war.
He then pulled a two-seater sofa behind him to block the door and even picked up a side table to shove it at the incoming robbers
A female shopkeeper stepped in to help too, but both of the victims quickly backed off once the robbers walked past the door.
In self-defence, the male shopkeeper picked up a TV cabinet, rather effortlessly, and dropped it on an approaching robber.
