The man, thought to be in his 70s, walked up to one of the robbers as one of the would-be thieves was smashing his way into the store. As the youth was swinging his sledgehammer, the man plucked the balaclava from his head. Advertisement As the youths fled, the man shouted: "I've got your DNA." The man boarded a bus immediately after the incident, the newspaper reported. The events were recorded on camera by another shopper who took a photograph of the robber after his knit cap was removed. It has been handed over to the police.
