It was like a scene straight out of an action movie when the public and police came together to stop three robbers from escaping after looting a local bank in India’s Ludhiana city. The thrilling and action-packed incident was recorded on camera and the video has now gone viral on Twitter and YouTube.

Three robbers, with their faces concealed behind helmets, tried to run away with a black bag filled with looted cash in Ludhiana city in Punjab state on Friday when they were chased by local residents and police officials in the area.

The thieves were carrying a bag filled with looted money from a branch of the Karur Vyasa Bank located in Ludhiana's Dugri area.
