One man against an armed attacker: man thwarts assault inside a coffee shop

An ordinary day at a coffee shop in downtown Machala suddenly ended in a struggle with an armed attacker. A masked young man walked into the establishment, approached a table where a prosecutor and a lawyer were sitting, and pulled a loaded revolver from his backpack. However, he didn't have time to shoot: the lawyer instantly lunged at him and grabbed his gun hand.

In the end, the attacker was disarmed and held until the police arrived. The entire scene was captured on surveillance cameras.
