The widely-circulated footage shows a klomp heavily-armed men dressed in black, allegedly robbing occupants of a white vehicle at a shopping centre.

More than four suspects can be seen carrying rifles, while shouting is heard in the background as motorists hoot and bystanders question the metro police officers' response.

Shockingly, the cop car continued driving as the incident unfolded with the armed men pointing their guns at the police vehicle.
