Hunt for Horseman in Brazen Argentina Robbery

Argentine police are hunting for a man who whipped two passersby while riding a horse in the middle of a busy city street and attempted to rob them, before galloping off.

The incident happened during the daytime on a major thoroughfare in Resistencia, capital of the northern province of Chaco, local media said Saturday.

Friday's attack was recorded on security cameras and showed a man on horseback approaching his young male victims, whipping them and demanding their belongings.

Witnesses told police that the suspect fell from his horse in the failed robbery, then jumped back on his mount and fled, dodging cars as he galloped off into the distance.
