This is the astonishing moment an eight-year-old girl tackles gun-wielding robbers moments after they mugged her father. <br /><br />Schoolgirl Brielle Minia was playing on the driveway outside her home when the four men walked past posing as DVD sellers last Thursday afternoon (September 27) in Cavite, Philippines. <br /><br />The three masked men approached her dad – who had just returned home from work in a white 4x4 – and held him up at gunpoint to steal his cash while one of the gang raided the family home.<br /><br />The group ran back down the driveway in the opposite direction – with the only person between them and their getaway motorcycles being the little girl, who was walking back to see what the noise was.<br /><br />Wearing a pink dress and pigtails, Brielle bravely lunged at the same man who had been holding the silver semi-automatic handgun. She ripped open his bag, sending the contents he had stolen onto the floor.<br /><br />The youngster frantically tried to scoop it up as the robber towered over her then made a break for freedom. <br /><br />But incredibly, the fearless youngster climbed to her feet and sprinted after the robber before hurling herself at him for a second time as they climbed onto their bikes.<br /><br />Brielle was kicked to the ground and suffered cuts and bruises to her face, hands and a suspected broken nose. <br /><br />The youngster spent two nights in hospital before returning home and bravely declaring: ''I'll get them next time.''<br /><br />Brielle said that she was ''not afraid'' of the ''cowards'' and would do the same thing again. She added: ''I'm so angry they stole my daddy's money. If I ever see them again they'll be sorry.
