Allegedly. If anyone were willing to testify the kid didn't just take a bad series of tumbles

Back in the 80s someone snatched an old lady's handbag in front of my dad. My dad chased him and managed to catch him, at which point he gave him a good kicking.

Dragged the guy back to where the old lady was by which point the police had arrived. One police officer was like "What happened to him?" and the senior officer just said "He fell" and they arrested the guy.

Yeah, but we live in today. We should be glad the carjacker didn't film a tik tok video about a dank gas hack of just stealing a car instead of buying one

The article never said he got beaten up either. Just that he got caught and they called am ambulance for him

Right, kids these days are very clumsy. He was probably trying to help the lady get into her car when he fell several times. Others came to assist him and, realizing he had hurt himself, called him an ambulance.

It's like that guy leaving a best buy and fell off the curb. Luckily a few marines where there to help him.

Yeah. There's precedent too since the cops seem to always be arresting people that suddenly have a lot of injuries/death inexplicably on them.

I don’t know where anyone would have gotten the idea he was hurt by upstanding members of the community. Why, the old lady expressed surprise he wasn’t dead, considering he was clearly lost.
