According to Argentine news outlet Carlos Paz Vivo!, the incident happened last Wednesday. The suspects were in their late teens. A separate report by La Noticiade Quilmes said that both of them were arrested by the police.
Famous X account Colin Rugg also shared the video on his page. The clip has amassed over 3.3 million views, as per the video’s view counter.
They said that the incident happened at the intersection of General Manuel Savio and Bradley in Quilmes, Buenos Aires.
In the video, one of the bike-borne muggers is seen dismounting off the bike and moving towards the victim. The woman quickly turns and draws her service weapon and then fires three shots.
The first bullet struck the approaching mugger who collapsed immediately.
The policewoman, now on the ground, swiftly focused towards the other mugger, still on his bike.
The shooting stopped the robbery attempt and forced the muggers to flee and the policewoman escaped without injuries.
The thieves were arrested later when they visited a nearby hospital to seek treatment for gunshot wounds. One of the muggers arrived at the Iriarte Hospital. Cops arrested him after he matched the description of the attackers.
Hours later, staff at the Almirante Brown reported that another male with a minor wound on his left arm had been admitted to Oñativia Hospital in Rafael Calzada.
