Check out this story and the footage is a must.

It was questioned over here wether it was real or not but the media crew that filmed it apparently rang the local police thinking it was a set up. Turns out it was not and the only one to step in and act was this little old lady in her 70's armed with her hand bag.

I know. I doubt I would have walked in to 6 guys swinging hammers. But then again they most likely would have turned on me quicker than her....well I would like to think they wouldn't hit an old lady with her handbag.

Also I love that one of the bikes fell over. What is with the white van that stopped? It looked like he nearly cleaned them up.
