Quick-thinking bystander saves woman from criminals
Updated | By Damon Beard
It's true what they say - not all superheroes wear capes. This heroic bystander refused to stand for crime in his community.

The man and his mate riding a moped approached a woman and ripped her handbag away from her, before hurtling off down the road.

A dashcam on the vehicle behind them thankfully recorded the entire incident. Not only was the incident captured, but it also shows an heroic bystander in action who ran into the road to stop these criminals in their tracks. The bystander tackled the two men and threw them to the ground.
One of the guys on the moped was given a good beating and the handbag, which was stolen from the woman, was dropped before both of them took off into the distance - obviously bruised and shaken up by the incident. Well, they deserved it, don't you think?
