A video capturing a street altercation in Colombia has gone viral on social media, not just for the brazen attack, but for the unbelievable reactions of those caught on camera.
Security footage obtained
by NewsFlash shows two young backpackers chatting outside what appears to be a bank or currency exchange when a knife-wielding thug suddenly targets the woman. As the robber tries to slash the woman’s backpack off her shoulders, but instead of freezing, she fights back, clawing and shoving as the assailant pushes in.

What viewers couldn’t believe, however, was the reaction of her male companion. As the woman struggles for her safety, he slips behind a wall, peeking out from safety while she continues to save herself and her belongings. At one point, he inches forward as if to help — but never actually steps in. For nearly fifteen seconds, he simply watches.
Another man briefly approaches before backing off, leaving the woman to continue fending off the attacker. Then the moment that turned this into an internet sensation: a good Samaritan enters into frame and whacks the assailant with a motorcycle helmet. Within seconds, three more bystanders jump in, pushing the thief to the ground and beating him.
The woman’s companion still never joins the fight — not even when the attacker is outnumbered four to one. But once the threat is neutralised, he reappears, trying to comfort her.
Internet Reacts
Few details about the backpackers, including the nature of their relationship, are unknown, but that hasn’t stopped social media from weighing in. One X user joked, “I miss masculinity.”
Another user wrote, “American Men are told that being weak is OK.”
A third commented, “Hiding behind a wall while your girl fights off a knife-wielding mugger is peak 2025 masculinity.
“Choose your companions wisely ladies,” a fourth user suggested. “I swear masculinity is alive and well in other countries,” a fifth comment read.
Others applauded the woman’s courage and the locals who came to her rescue. The clip continues to spread across social media — part cautionary tale, part unexpected show of bravery from strangers on the street.
