Two bystanders stopped an ATM robbery in Central Florida last month, and it was all caught on camera.

The newly released surveillance footage shows the suspect approaching a car going through an ATM in Orange County.

Video shows the victim pulling forward a bit, before stopping and struggling with the suspect.

According to police, the suspect grabbed the 55-year-old woman by the neck and pulled out a box cutter, demanding her purse. 

When she honks her horn for help, a man runs over to the passenger window and calls over a friend.

That bystander then approaches the attacker from behind and gets him away from the car.

The attacker eventually took off on foot, and police said he remains on the run.
