Video: If we were faced with a shotgun, we don’t think we’d be brave enough to react like this

Be honest, if you were held up at gunpoint you’d sh*t your pants and immediately succumb to your assailant’s demands, right? Not this guy…

As you’ll see below, the hero of the piece was walking down the street in New Orleans in the early hours of Saturday morning when he was approached by a man wielding a shotgun, who pointed it in his face and demanded that he hand over all of his money.

Instead of sh*tting himself and doing just that, the incredibly brave victim in question knocked the shotgun out of his assailant’s hands and proceeded to chase after him, the start of the chase being caught on CCTV cameras overhead.

According to the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), the assailant escaped but subsequently returned with a colleague in a black sedan, demanding the return of the shotgun in exchange for the victim’s phone, which he had picked up after he had dropped it in the original confrontation.

Even that didn’t intimidate our hero, who didn’t take too kindly to the request and smashed in the rear window of the vehicle, prompting the lads inside to scarper away from a man they really shouldn’t have messed with in the first place.
