Robbers fail to grab $1.2m

A man carrying a knapsack containing $1.22 million thwarted four or five would-be robbers who punched and kicked him in an attack in Cheung Sha Wan yesterday. The 26-year-old was ambushed in Castle Peak Road after taking the cash from a bank. Police said the gang fled empty-handed. A passer-by helped the victim catch one man and hold him for police.
