The Cuban streets are becoming more and more like a Saturday movie, with action, obscene language and violence. This Thursday, members of the Police and the Armed Forces arrived at Águila Street, in Centro Habana, after a great uproar occurred in the place when a citizen turned himself in to the uniformed men who were guarding a queue to buy cigarettes.
The man came running to the corner of the Roseland currency store, while being chased by another with a knife in his hand. The individual who was running behind him claimed that the young man who was speeding had forced the door of his vehicle to steal.
The attempted robbery occurred, in broad daylight, in the central and busy Neptuno street where the car was parked and was foiled by the owner who caught the offender red-handed. He immediately took out the knife and began the chase, mimicking the films where a protagonist takes revenge by his own hand, without waiting for the authorities.
The perpetrator preferred to flee and give himself up to the police before being stabbed and, as in a movie script, the scene ended with people in line cheering the man with the sharp knife, who bragged that he had no intention of killing. make a report of the failed robbery. The thief was removed from the place in a patrol and people returned to the routine of queuing to get something to smoke.
