This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.


Compare - if you will - the effort and danger of the women herself, hanging onto the offender on a moving motorbike, falling multiple times, being dragged underneath his feet, not letting go, to the big man in the white t-shirt arriving late and kicking the offender as he’s pinned down.
She took a few shots to the face too. One with the phone, and another with an elbow. May have slipped under the elbow though.
