These dudes were riding in an elevator when the doors opened to probably the last thing they wanted to see: their mother-in-laws. Amirite, folks?

Nah, just kidding. It was actually an axe being swung at their heads. Now that I say that, that mother-in-law joke feels kinda poor taste, but whatcha gonna do?

Anyway, one brave dude with balls of cast iron decided to take the assailant head-on, and actually managed to do so successfully.

Just watch the clip:

Another staff member followed in and both of them overpowered the man, successfully disarming him.

One detail stood out and moved many: after taking down the attacker, the first property staff member even carefully pressed the elevator button for the female resident, pic.twitter.com/VoOj2BOcW0
