RIO DE JANEIRO -- A would-be robber in a Rio de Janeiro suburb apparently chose the wrong gym. Surveillance- camera footage shared widely on social media shows the man entering the gym and jumping a turnstile after arguing with the receptionist. Several seconds later, the man is seen jumping back over the turnstile and running outside, chased by several jiujitsu students dressed in uniforms. The man escaped, but police said they recovered one of his sandals that fell off during the chase.
