Quick-thinking bystander saves woman from criminals

Thieves on the back of a motorcycle got the fright of their lives, and let's just say that their plan to rob a woman didn't go according to plan either.

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?
