A fearless doctor jumped into action and did his best to scare off armed criminals during a robbery at a surgery in the taxi rank on Friday (September 28).

It is believed that three men armed with dagger-like knives entered the surgery.

Speaking to the doctor, he says he heard a loud bang and when he went into the waiting room to investigate, he found the men trying to rob a lady.

In an heroic act of bravery, the elderly doctor grabbed a chair and swung it at the robbers.

The lady was robbed of her cell-phone and cash before the three suspects fled the scene.

The doctor and his staff were left in shock after the ordeal.

Police responded to the scene and are currently investigating the incident.
