Dramatic security footage shows the moment an off-duty police officer thwarted an armed robbery at a burger joint in central Brazil by drawing his own gun and firing on the crooks.
The cop was in the middle of a meal with six of his friends at 1:27am Saturday morning in the city Goiânia when he had to spring into action.
Security video cameras at Gulla's Burguer captured the moment two men pulled up on a bike and one, still wearing his biker helmet, aimed a gun towards the storefront.
The three workers held their hands up, but the brave cop sat nearby immediately drew his own weapon and surprised the suspect by firing a shot at him.
The armed man fired back before fleeing towards the back area of the fast-food stand.
Video cameras showed the cop's companions falling to the ground on top of each other as they attempted to run for cover.
At least one of the cop's friends managed to run away from the shootout.
