But the pensioner fought back - shoving the man away before quickly throwing up his fists in a fighting stance, and even throwing some punches at the man's neck and gut.
As the two men pivot quickly around, the pensioner is left facing the CCTV camera outside the Sainsbury's store in Cardiff - and can be seen shouting, "Come on, then".
The pensioner successfully fought off the suspect, who made off empty-handed towards the path leading to Colchester Avenue.
