These action shots are hilarious. Now, to play the waiting game until someone sets this essay to the Benny Hill theme.

Cool- a good samaritan story, instead of a murder story. Did they recover the ladies belongings?

"I don't know what time the response time (for police) was .. but it was at least 7-8 minutes."

7-8 minutes response time? There is a police station literally 2 blocks east of this place on 18th and state street. This robbery occured near 18th and wentworth.

Actually it was a good thing the cops got there late as this fool got punched and kicked by the mob. Look at the scumbag bleed! Too bad the offender will be placed on probation HE will be robbing again tomorrow.

Wish I was there to take a few shots at the perp. It's hilarious when a purse snatcher gets caught by good sams and they beat the crap out of him. Well done guys!

Looks more like the good Samaritans held him down while the victims beat him up. Look at the blood on the headlight
