Karma beatdown after pickpocket steals from the wrong guy
An alleged thief who tried to pickpocket a man’s mobile phone on a train in China had his plan foiled.
The thief allegedly tried to steal from a man twice his size in Guangzhou, but things didn’t go to plan.
A fellow commuter filmed the exchange between the two men, which ended with the thief cowering against the train door.
"Don't you ever do that. Don't you f---ing ever take my phone again," the victim says, as he smacks the shamed pickpocket in the side of the head.
“I’ll take you to the police right now.”
Tourists and foreigners are often the targets of pickpockets on public transport.
Sarah Lin loaded the vision onto YouTube in a bid to shame the thief.
