WATCH: In movie-like heist, jewellery shop robbed  in Delhi after drilling hole in wall

<p>An ancient samurai weapon has emerged as a hero after an employee at a jewellery shop in Tokyo wielded it to thwart an attempted robbery and gave the three robbers a chase, as they fled.<br />
<br />
The weapon, which was invented by samurai warriors hundreds of years ago, is called the sasumata and looks like a pole with two prongs attached to the end.<br />
<br />
After the attempted robbery's footage was released, it attracted massive attention on online platforms. As the video went viral, an auto parts manufacturer, which has been making the forked pole, reported that he received multiple requests for the traditional weapon.</p>
