This was the moment a robber developed cold feet and fled before looting the bank.

The masked man barged into Central Bank in Narsinghpur in Central India on February 18 around lunch time when it was not very crowded.

He waved his gun at the cashier and handed over a bag asking him to fill it with money. But the cashier noticed that the man was trembling and nervous, and pressed the siren button.

As the siren went off, the would be robber panicked and decided to run.

"He fled, but changed his mind and returned from the main door. He again asked for money at the wrong counter and ran away again quickly," said an official.

"The man was an amateur. He was fumbling for his gun, didn't know which counter to go for money and even customers were not scared of him," added the officer.

But the police are taking the incident seriously. "We've formed several teams,he'll be arrested soon," said an officer.
