A boy shopping for a stuffed animal was caught on tape trying to fight off an armed robbery inside a Maryland video game store.

The robbery occurred Friday night in the GameStop at 10100 Colesville Road. One suspect initially ordered three customers, including a young boy, against the wall near the counter.
The video then shows the assailants accosting the man and woman working behind the store’s counter. “He’s tough and, you know, I think instincts come out in situations like that”.
Montgomery County Police released the footage Wednesday in hopes that the public could help them identify the robbers.
Although the men appear to have guns, the little man readies himself and, amazingly, even punches one twice in the stomach.
“We didn’t completely understand why”, the father told Fox 5. “Police said the suspects, both described as black men in their 20s approximately 5′ 6” tall and weighing 170 pounds, then took an undisclosed amount of cash and personal property before fleeing out the store’s front door. “You’re not. So, you don’t wish it on your worst enemy”, the boy’s father added. No one was hurt.
No arrests have been made. They were wearing black, hooded sweatshirts, black trousers, gloves, and masks.
