It's not an action film sequence, it's real life.
A young woman desperately grapples with two robbers who attacked her in broad, open daylight as she waited for a bus.
The incident occurred in South China's new boomtown Dongguan as the helpless woman was knocked to the ground and was robbed her purse and mobile phone.

A photographer from South Metropolitan Daily captured the 6 am incident on September 20, showing how the woman was grabbed from behind by a man who threw her to the pavement.
Another accomplice with his hair dyed yellow then popped into the frame and snatched the girl's purse from her back pocket.
Apparently local bandits have been targeting the spot for robberies of late. In this incident, a man who watched the attack picked up his belongings and fled the scene, leaving the woman at the mercy of the two pillagers.
It was reportedly the third case within an hour that morning, with all the victims women waiting for a bus on their own.
Police had no time to react to any of the incidents. In the afternoon, however, officers said they had finally busted a robbery gang involving 28 suspects. All its members were located in a park adjacent to the bus stop where the incidents have occurred.
Surprisingly, Dongguan was ranked second in a quality of life survey of Chinese cities just following Shenzhen in a recent study.
