The blonde female martial arts expert soon gave the would-be robber the shock of his life as she beat him senseless for trying to rob her shop in Argentina.

As he tried his best to force his way into the kiosk in Resistencia, Chaco province, on May 22, the shop worker, named in local media as Yanela Caceres, used all her kickboxing skills to fight him off.

Unleashing a bruising flurry of a dozen punches to his head as he struggles to get free, the thug was battered within seconds.

Then, just as she is about to finish him off with an agonising armlock, the hoodie-wearing thug manages to pull away and flees empty-handed.

Local media reports said the crook had asked Yanela for a drink of water as a trick to get her to open the service hatch.

She later said: “First, he asks me about a single cigarette.

“We don’t sell it like that anymore, so I tell him that, and he then asks me if he can have some water.”

The water was at the back of the store, so Yanela had reportedly closed the service window and went to the back to fetch it in a small bottle.

She explained: “When I handed him the bottle, he pushed down on the window and tried to get into the store.”

She added: “He wanted to grab me, and I reacted as can be seen in the video.”

Yanela said she hit him so hard her knuckles were bleeding, but she was otherwise uninjured.

It is unclear if a robbery complaint had been registered with police.

Across the border in Brazil, the shocking moment a Lamborghini driver rammed into a thief who allegedly stole his Rolex at a gunpoint was caught on tape.

The 64-year-old motorist broke into a high-speed car chase to recover the designer watch from the crook on a motorbike.

The Lambo owner had stopped at a traffic light in Sao Paulo when the suspect reportedly stole the lavish timepiece.

The footage shows the alleged thief demand the watch from the supercar driver at a gunpoint before fleeing the scene.
