The shocking pictures above taken by a member of the public shows the moment a suited City worker attempted to tackle a machete-wielding robber to the ground. Pedestrians looked on in horror as three masked raiders smashed their way into Carr Watches and Diamonds near Liverpool Street station in Central London during a daytime robbery yesterday Jan. 22nd. As the gang tried to make their getaway on two mopeds, the have-a-go hero jumped onto the back of one of the robbers and tried to drag him to the ground. The raider then threatened the man with a long knife before running off into the busy streets. Two of the suspects got away from the jewellers while another was arrested nearby.
