A thief got on a bus in Concepción, Chile, thinking he would pull off a quick robbery, but he ended up literally trapped by his own hand. Everything was recorded by the bus’s security cameras.
The young man, identified as Pablo Ignacio Riquelme, 22, tried to snatch a female passenger’s purse as soon as he got on the vehicle. But the driver reacted within seconds and closed the door just as the criminal was trying to escape, leaving one of his hands trapped.
While the driver subdued him with a small wooden bat, the assailant started saying that “it was all a joke” and that the victim was supposedly his “Aunt María del campo”. He even ended up crying in front of everyone.
