Anthony Haby was taking a stroll inside a Victorian shopping mall in Australia when he saw a man breaking boxes inside the store.

After hearing screams and what sounded like gunshots, the 31-year-old jumped into action and rushed inside the store to tackle the would-be thief.

He grabbed the hands of man before pushing him down to the ground, taking complete control of the situation.

Moments later, members of security and police arrived to cuff the alleged robber, said to be in his 20s.

He was then led away as bystanders begin to praise the dad for his heroic move.

Speaking to 9News, the dad said: “I’m not a hero, I’m just an everyday bloke, doing what needed to be done.

“People needed help, so we helped. It’s just something I think any normal person would do, really.”

While Ms Haby was busy tackling the man, his wife Ms Fleming was seen helping the staff to get out of the store safely – just like the perfect team.

Ms Fleming said: “We just heard screams, terrifying screams and didn’t even think about it, just went in. ”

A staff member said about the heroic dad: “He was amazing – to not think of himself and put himself in danger – and he was straight on him.

“He thought it was gunshots, he didn’t know it was a hammer, he thought it was a gun, and he still came in and tackled him to the ground.

“He’s an Aussie hero.”

The members of the store have now nominated Ms Haby, who works as a builder, for a bravery award.

Store manager Cheryl Luvara said: “Hopefully he’ll receive that because I think that’s what that award stands for.”

The alleged robber was presented at an Aussie magistrates’ court.

It is understood he is not seeking bail and will remain in custody until August.
