Robbery Ends in Very Painful Way (Hint: Watch the Window)

Surveillance footage shows what appears to be an attempted robbery as one of two men enter a grocery store. What happens just seconds later is a bit surprising.

The man who, according to the YouTube video description, was armed, goes sailing through the open store front window just seconds after walking in through the side door.

Moments later, he's exiting a much different way than how he entered. (Image via YouTube video screenshot)

Now, it's not clear enough to tell if the man was thrown out the window or if he jumped from the establishment on his own. But we do know something in there made him want to get out -- fast.

The man lands on the ground with a graceless flop, picks himself up quickly and runs after the scooter. (Image via YouTube video screenshot)

When he lands, a firearm does appear to slip from his hands onto the ground. He quickly picks it up and chases after his buddy on a scooter.

Watch the footage:

We should point out that the time stamp on this video is a bit unclear, seeming to be shot either 29/08/2013, which would technically be wrong since that is still a week away, or 29/06/2013.

Either way, the video made its way onto the social news site reddit with one commenter saying, "There's nothing like seeing a good defenestration to brighten your day."
