One-legged man on crutches attempts to shoot shoppers in Turkey (VIDEO)

Newly released footage, captured in Turkey, shows a one-legged, would-be assassin, balancing on crutches, and pointing a gun at people inside what was described as a phone shop.

The disabled man, wearing sunglasses, fires several bullets before the firearm jams and he takes a moment trying to fix it. That's when another man from the shop grabs his arm and tackles him to the floor.

The video uploaded on LiveLeak shows the two fighting fiercely on the ground.
