A HEROIC security officer bravely wrestled a gun off an armed robber in the middle of a Streatham street.
The robber's pistol was left lying in Kingscourt Road after the security officer was attacked outside the Chelsea Building Society in Streatham High Road at around 4.30pm on Monday.
The robber, who smashed the security officer on the head with the gun, fled the scene empty-handed.
Customer Tom Wilkins, 27, of Gleneldon Road, Streatham, said: "I was only in the Building Society five minutes ago but I left to buy some cigarettes. "Then I came back and there were police everywhere and a gun on the pavement."
