South Korean Bank Robbery Thwarted by Ex-Special Forces Veteran

A man armed with a toy dinosaur-shaped water gun was subdued within minutes by a former soldier during a failed heist in Busan.

On February 10, a man in his 30s attempted to rob a bank in Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea, using a toy water gun disguised as a weapon.
The suspect, wearing a scarf and hat, demanded money while threatening staff and customers, causing panic in the bank.
Park Cheon-gyu, a 53-year-old former special forces soldier, tackled the would-be robber from behind, with support from bank employees.
Police discovered the suspect's weapon was a dinosaur-shaped water pistol concealed in a plastic bag, and he had no escape plan or getaway vehicle.
Authorities plan to honor Park Cheon-gyu for his bravery, while the incident has drawn widespread amusement on social media due to its absurdity.
