Video: What Would You Do if You Witnessed a Crime?

A wild pursuit in Midwood, Brooklyn ended with a shoplifting suspect in handcuffs Thursday afternoon – but it wasn’t police who caught him.

As CBS2’s Weijia Jiang reported, the suspect was chased through the streets by Good Samaritans – including New York state senator Simcha Felder and two sanitation workers.

    I once read about someone who was in a store in NYC and looked out to witness a robbery in action. The robber was running past the store where this man was. The man was quick, and stuck out his leg and actually able to trip the robber. I would find it an honor to do this!
    It might work better to use a mop handle or broom handle to stick out, but if nothing else is around, then just do what you can do to help.
