OAKLAND, Calif. -- Dramatic surveillance video from Oakland shows the moment four people approach a pair of Asian seniors, rob them and are chased away thanks to the couple's machete-wielding son.
The couple's son told Dion Lim, anchor for ABC7's sister station ABC7 News in San Francisco, that the group of men approached his parents on their front porch after they had come home from grocery shopping Monday, March 29 at around 4:30 p.m. He did not want to be identified or share publicly the neighborhood where this incident happened.
The video shows the robbers grabbing the gold chain off his mother's neck and also reaching into his father's pockets to take a cell phone and keys.
The son says he's glad he was home at the time.
