A security camera has captured the shocking moment a man tried to rob a woman at a petrol station forecourt in Auckland.
The footage shows the man trying to grab the woman as she was fuelling up at the Mobil Takanini on Sunday night.
In the video, the woman pulls into the station to put petrol into her car. A few moments later a man in a stolen car pulls up to the pump next to her.
After a few seconds have passed and the woman walks towards the pump. Then a man wearing a black cap and a yellow bandanna jumps out of the car and attempts to grab the woman.
