Cape Town – A Cape Town man has been hailed a hero after rushing into action and slide-tackling an alleged thief who had allegedly stolen a customer’s phone.
A video of the incident that happened at a Cape Town, Parow Spar has since gone viral on social media.
In the video, a man is seen packing shopping baskets when the alleged thief runs past him, and without a second thought, the man springs into action and slides his leg in front of the suspect.
After both of them fall to the ground, the suspect tries to flee but the man is hot on his heels, and with the help of other people, catches up with him before making his exit.
According to TimesLIVE Ronnie M, an employee at the Spar was about to go home when the incident occurred in October last year.
