A 16-year-old boy was arrested after trying to rob a man at gun point and failing miserably at it.

The whole pathetic attempt at a robbery has been caught on CCTV cams, and the embarrassment should be enough to keep this guy off the streets.

You can see him point a shotgun at his intended victim, but having him fight back, take the weapon away then running after him.

"After he took the shotgun away, he chased the guy down the street. [...] The guy ran right by his car, he didn't even stop to get in his car and drive away," witness Joe Bonda describes.

FOX 8 Live reported that the hold-up took place in the Marigny in New Orleans on Saturday, April 27. Eyewitnesses describe that the hilarious incident doesn't end here.

The suspect got into a vehicle, and had a getaway driver waiting for him. Unfortunately for him, the victim had his gun and he was forced to drive around for a while, begging him to give it back and offering to exchange it.

They only drove off once the pedestrian broke the gunman's rear windshield with his own shotgun.
