CCTV footage from Brazil shows the moment a pedestrian was saved from an armed mugging as a motorcycle cop just happened to be riding up on the situation.

From the video we can see the classic thug technique of two criminals on a motorcycle rolling up on their victim. The passenger hops off and attempts to steal the man's backpack. The intended victim fights back, pushing the two men and their bike over.

Suddenly the cop comes riding up and opens fire immediately. The two thugs attempt to run away, but they already received fatal gunshot wounds. They collapse a few meters down the street. The world became a slightly better lace that day.
