A petrol station attendant has doused two alleged thieves in fuel during an attempted robbery.
The armed men are accused of confronting the female worker and demanding she hand over her day’s takings.
CCTV footage shows the suspects on a motorbike next to a petrol pump.

But she grabs a nozzle and squirts fuel over them.
Meanwhile, a cop sneaks up on the pair with his gun raised.
He places the pair under arrest, and one suspect apparently throws his handgun on the ground and gives himself up.
Two other attendants approach the scene to kick the suspect’s dropped gun to safety.
The cop then forces the men to get off the motorbike and kneel on the ground.
A burly man, apparently another police officer, runs over and shoves one suspect to the ground before apparently hitting him in the face several times.
Two onlookers also seem to kick the crooks in the head as they’re detained on the forecourt.
The dramatic scenes were filmed in Teoloyucan near the Mexican capital Mexico City yesterday (26 Mar).
A police investigation into the suspects’ alleged criminal activities is ongoing, as reported on Need to Know.
