In a display of remarkable courage, a woman in Karachi’s Federal B Area managed to fend off an attempted robbery by slapping an armed robber. The robber, who had approached the woman on a motorbike while brandishing a weapon, was left startled by her bold defiance.

As the man attempted to threaten her with the weapon, the woman raised her hand in a slap-like gesture, catching the robber off guard. His startled reaction caused him to flee without further confrontation, abandoning his robbery attempt.

A video capturing this remarkable moment quickly went viral on social media, garnering widespread attention.

The incident, which occurred on January 7, is currently under investigation by the police, who are attempting to identify and arrest the suspect using visual evidence from the viral footage.
