Dishevelled man disarms police officer, video has Mzansi screaming

Briefly News previously reported a dishevelled man disarmed a police officer who struggled to get it back from him in a clip with Mzansi peeps screaming.

The incident, posted by @VehicleTrackerz, showed the dude successfully taking the gun away from one of the officers, prompting the other to intervene. The Twitter post left Mzansi shocked, with some even wondering if the clip was real.
