Li was talking with a neighbor outside when she noticed something was off at the store owned by her son. As she rushed to check what was wrong, she witnessed the robbery in progress.

Witnesses told reporters that the 60-year-old lady pounced on the man and grabbed his arm twisting it from behind to take his weapon. Despite his struggles, Zhou failed to fight off the old woman.
