Everyone has seen videos of average people doing heroic deeds. From saving an animal from a fire to rescuing an injured child, there are videos capturing countless different acts of kindness and heroics.

Although everyone can imagine their brave actions, there are only a few people who act heroically when faced with a difficult situation.

One man, in particular, rose to the occasion and acted without a concern for his own well-being in order to save others. To make the story even more appealing, he did it all while wearing a cowboy hat. A well-placed security camera was able to catch all of the action for the world to see.

Security footage shows an unidentified man walking into the Carnes Cares butcher. At the time, this shop in Monterrey, Mexico was hosting a few other patrons. The young robber was wearing a hood and wielding a weapon.

He approached the checkout counter and demanded cash. The flustered cashier fumbled to empty the register as the hooded villain turned towards a man wearing a cowboy hat.

The robber brandished the gun in front of the cowboy and presumably hurled violent threats. Despite the grave situation, the cowboy seemed calm and unfazed. Instead of pleading for his life, he calmly took of his glasses. He was only waiting for the right opportunity to act.

The young gunman made a critical mistake by directing his attention away from the cowboy. He focused his gaze on a woman walking on the other side of the store. When the robber turned away, the cowboy saw his opportunity.

He lunged towards the robber and quickly disarmed the suspect. An employee picked up the weapon from the ground immediately. The cowboy and the robber continued to wrestle up and down the snack aisle.

As the robber made one final dash for the front door, the employees helped the cowboy tackle the suspect. All together, these brave heroes were able to restrain the criminal until this police arrived. That day could have ended very differently if the cowboy and the butchers had not acted so bravely. They risked their own lives and safety in order to help others.

Unfortunately, the cowboy has remained anonymous. Although this brave man is not basking in his glory, the video footage proves that anyone can be a hero.
