One man has become an instant hero on his local grocery run, stopping a robbery in its tracks by tackling the culprit.

To-infinitive

T, as his friends call him, was the last person these bumbling burglars would want to come across.

To be honest, it was just like a normal day, just driving here to the coast to drop off their magazines.

And then I seen, like, the lady in the medical center.

And then I didn't know what she was waving at, to be honest, but

then she was like, these two guys next door in the pharmacy robbing it.

And so I was like, oh, wait there, then, and I'll go over and check it out.

So I just walked over, stood in front of the door, and

Yeah, and then they just looked at me, turned around, looked at me, and

At that time, I didn't know whether they had knives or anything, so I sort of was just being cautious about it, to be honest.

And then the closer they got, yeah, I sort of took a step back, and

then that's when the first fella just run straight past me.

And then the second fellow just looked at me.

That's when I grabbed the guy and I tackled him on the ground and just held him there.

Literally, he was struggling at first, and

I just said to him, I was like, mate, you're wasting your breath.

So my fatherly instinct kicked in, and I just started giving him life advice, I guess.

Did you say to him, oh, too many weights, not enough speed, but I should have aimed.

You must have said, you obviously you had no concern for your own safety.

Did you not, in all seriousness, have any worries about being hurt at all?

Because, you know, he could have had anything now, to be honest, that wasn't even in my mind, to be honest.

The lady asked for help and I was just like, yeah, I got your back.

I want to know what advice you gave him because I think it took about 10 minutes for the cops to get there.

Yeah, well, it was pretty much just like I was like.

Because at first I asked him how old he was and he told me 15.

So I was like, mate, I got a 15 year old son.

Why are you hanging out with those dropkicks?

Like you got your whole life ahead of you, but you're 15 years old.

He's like, bro, I'll give you 200 bucks if you let me go.

And I'm like, cuz I pointed at my work truck.

I was telling him because he's like, just let me go.

And then I just sort of told him, I said, I'm sorry, bro, but

this is what happens when you're a naughty boy.

Now you deal with the consequences because I am transfixed by you.

The New Zealand Prime Minister is also in Australia right now.

And you're the kind of Kiwi that needs to be celebrated in a very, very large way.

Would you want to come over my place for a honey?

But I'll cook it for you, cousin, You're a legend.

Oh, Kiara, brother, that is a wonderful story.

I just want to hang out with him, have a few skates, a life coaching.
