According to Antigua.news, the brazen robbery was captured on surveillance camera, and the footage has since circulated widely on social media.
The video appears to show the two suspects approaching the victim before one of them brandishes what appears to be a knife. The man is seen struggling with the attackers as he attempts to prevent them from removing the chain from around his neck.
Despite his resistance, the suspects managed to snatch the gold chain during the brief confrontation before fleeing the scene. The entire incident unfolded within seconds.
