Overview
- Security footage circulating online shows an assailant targeting a woman's backpack outside what appears to be a bank or currency exchange in Colombia.
- Reports describe the attacker as armed, possibly with a knife, as he tries to cut the straps of the backpack.
- The woman resists for roughly 15 seconds while her male companion retreats behind a wall and does not step in.
- A passer-by strikes the assailant with a motorcycle helmet and additional bystanders overpower and pin him to the ground.
- Coverage cites the NewsFlash video and notes strong social-media criticism of the companion and praise for the woman and interveners, with the date and identities still unconfirmed.
