A TikTok video goes viral after showing a man apprehending a thief. The video has been viewed more than five million, and it shows a man tackling a bag snatcher in the street and returning the purse and the items to its owner. The video replies are full of love to the guy who does this, and we will tell you more about him.
Everything was capture and shred by Nicole or @thisdizbiz on TikTok. Her husband Darren Brownson saw a woman having her bag stolen and take the matter into his own hands. After the incident, he runs and tackles the petty thief in Farnham, Surrey. However, the video is very short but shows how he easily overpowers the thief.
What was the reaction on the internet?
The video isn’t explicitly violent; however, TikTok doesn’t think so. You can see how Darren grab the alleged thief and bent him over backwards near a restaurant window. After that, he takes the purse and tells him to run before he gets violent. Finally, he walks to his car and meets his wife, filming the incident and pointing the camera at the thief.
In the caption for the video, she writes, “So my husband saw a purse getting snatched today. He pulled over, chased the guy down and retrieved the purse then returned it to the owner. Show my hero some love”. Many people praised his bravery and his heroic efforts. However, the platform itself banned the video because it considers the content was violent.
In a follow-up video, Nicole explained that she and Darren returned the bag to the local Sainsbury’s store. They saw the thief coming from there and thought they could know who the owner was. The Surrey police are reportedly said to be investigating the crime. However, we still don’t know what happened to the thief.
