A man was caught on camera punching a robber in the face after the culprit robbed and knocked an elderly woman to the ground.
While confused passersby were just standing and watching, 27-year-old Danny Neilson was just on his bike driving by the scene of the attack and enjoying his chicken nuggets.
As the man recalled, he saw the robber push the 86-year-old victim to the ground, causing her to slam her head on the pavement.
According to Danny, “hundreds” of people were just watching the attack but he knew he needed to act. And so, he jumped off his bike and ran after the robber before he could finish crossing the street.
After knocking the culprit to the ground, the attacker was arrested and identified as David Loftey. He was jailed for 3 years and 4 months following the robbery.
“I wouldn’t say I am a hero but I’d just seen it happen, I thought ‘I can’t stand here and watch it happen,’ he just like grabbed her above her head,” Danny said after people dubbed him a hero.
“There was so many people about, I was quite far away but I just chucked my bike on the floor and lamped him one.
“You don’t really properly see it in the video, but he grabbed her bag and started walking off and I thought ‘f**k this,’ and hit him one, and dropped him. I’d do it for anyone, how can you sleep at night doing things like that?
“He went out cold, but I had to help him up because I didn’t want him to get run over by a bus. I left him at the side of the road, and I went back to the old woman to see if she was alright, he wasn’t my priority, I’d got the bag off him.
“I grabbed him and gave the woman the bag, then decked him. He just ran off because the police turned up, clear as day.”
