A viral CCTV video from Pakistan shows an attempted robbery turning unexpectedly emotional when a young girl approaches the armed robber holding a lollipop.
The footage begins with the gunman entering a small shop and demanding cash while the shopkeeper stands frozen behind the counter, visibly terrified.
In the middle of the tense moment, the shopkeeper’s daughter steps forward, innocently offering her lollipop without understanding the danger unfolding around her.
The innocent gesture instantly changes the robber’s behaviour, softening his expression as he pauses and lowers the weapon he had pointed.
Instead of stealing anything, the man returns the taken cash and phone before gently patting the child’s head in a surprising act.
The video has sparked massive online reactions, with viewers praising the child’s innocence and questioning whether the emotional encounter was real or possibly staged.
