The Quote of The Year?

A 78-year-old Swedish man was fed up with thefts at his local bank.

One day he saw an opportunity to do something about it:

Törnberg was on his way out of the bank recently when a car pulled up and three armed men dressed in heavy jackets and masks jumped out.

“It just came to me to do something. I had a camera in my car and I thought I could maybe get a picture of their car,” he explained.

Törnberg grabbed his camera and a metal tool from his car and set off to snap a photo of the robbers’ vehicle.

Just then, the man on lookout come out from the other side the robbers' car and pointed an automatic weapon directly at Törnberg’s chest.

But the retired prison worker wasn’t afraid.

Rather than flee, he instead started walking toward the gun-wielding man.

I wanted to get closer to get a better picture,” he said.
Later he used the metal tool to knock down the same robber.

All three suspects were eventually arrested.

The picture he took:
