Indians For Guns

A 44-year-old woman was attacked with a machete in an ATM in the heart of Bangalore on Tuesday, leaving her severely injured.

The footage captured on the CCTV camera installed inside the ATM shows the woman, manager at Corporation Bank, entering the ATM at around 7:30 am where no security guard was present, to withdraw cash. A man follows her inside the ATM behind and brings down the shutters before threatening her first with a revolver and then a machete which he brought out of his bag.

The footage shows the assailant pushing her down and attacking her with the machete. As the woman tries to resist, the man grabs her by the neck and pushes her up against a wall.

The woman has told the police that she called for help twice but there was no security guard outside the ATM, which is located near a police station. She also said that the attacker took away her purse and mobile phone before he escaped.

"The man assaulted her on the head and face. She fell unconscious. The person left with her purse which contained some credit cards and mobile phones and pulled the shutter down while leaving. Surprisingly, the jewellery the lady was wearing was not taken away. She was wearing a chain, bangles and other items," said Kamal Pant, Joint Police Commissioner, Bangalore

The woman was admitted to hospital with head injuries and is said to be out of danger now.

The attack was captured on the CCTV installed inside the ATM. The police are examining the footage to identify the attacker.

In such situations we better to listen to the criminal since he has more leverage and they see and attack people who cant defend themselves hence we all need some leverage like women and older people in Africa if you argue like that they will just shoot and kill you mate...
That's why we must all be fit and able to defend ourselves at least carry a small pepper spray and a folding knife... nothing wrong in carrying a small folding knife how cares what people say they will not come and rescue you in such situations right...

The Law must Wake Up and legalize the carrying of knives & small arms for self defense....

What is the guy had, instead of attacking the woman, walked in when the ATM was empty, rolled down the shutter, and proceeded to empty the machine? Probably the inbuilt alarms would have ensured cops came on the scene earlier!!

The police patrolling here are a lot tougher than in most parts of the country. What happened here is very a unfortunate incident. This however was planned as the criminal was waiting for his victim. There would be a lot to this incident which would come into our view once the victim speaks and the attacker is caught. Some sort of personal score to settle I assume or he would have robbed her otherwise. Please don't let this one incident put Bangalore off your travel plans.
