A six-year-old girl got caught up in a brazen alleged aggravated burglary in an electronic store in Auckland on Monday, NZ Herald reports.
Sarah Patel was inside the electronic shop owned by her dad, Suhail Patel when five armed men attacked the store.
CCTV footage obtained by NZ Herald shows how six-year-old Sarah ran into a man with an axe during an alleged aggravated robbery.
The footage published by the New Zealand Herald shows the young girl ran towards the intruder who was kicking 19-year-old Jordan Byrt, an employee of the store.
She grabbed the alleged attacker's leg but fell and later was taken out of the shop by her dad, as the men continued robbing the shop.
Talking to One News, Sarah told the presenters that she was trying to save Jordan.
When asked if she was afraid of the bad guys, she replied, “No, I wasn’t.” (Watch the video here)
