Despite taking the blows, the victim managed to get up from the ground. One of the attackers, wearing a black T-shirt and orange shorts, held him from behind as seen in the footage.

The victim then pulled out a gun and fired over his shoulder, hitting the shorts-wearing attacker, aged 27, in the torso. The wounded attacker was left critically injured on the sidewalk.

Meanwhile, the cameraman, dressed in red sweatpants and a white T-shirt, fled the scene as the victim-turned-gunman continued to fire in his direction.
