This clip shot by a commuter on a subway in Budapest, Hungary shows a phone thief in action. The man waits for the train to stop so he can grab a cell phone right out of a woman’s hands and bolt.
A bystander started filming the man before the act, as he believed he was acting in a suspicious manner and wanted to chronicle what he was about to do.
The clip became popular in Hungary, and the thief was recognized and arrested.
This could happen to you in public. If you don’t own and safety lanyard for your phone, go buy one.
