This is the hilarious moment a thief boards a bus to steal a passenger’s bag - but ends up in tears as the driver whacks him with a baseball bat
An accomplice held the door open at a stop so Pablo Riquelme Curiqueo, 22, could follow the woman onto the bus and snatch her belongings - but the thief managed to get trapped in the door while making his geta
After a second failed attempt to snatch her bag in the Chilean city of Concepcion, the driver seized his opportunity to close the doors and continue on his way.
Chubby opportunist Pablo, a serial thief, was left prisoner on the bus with one hand trapped inside the door, which he had tried to force open when he realised they were closing.
And worse was to come - when the hero driver radioed police and then took out a baseball bat he kept for self defence and started bashing the criminal around the body.
The bag thief, said to have several assault, theft and robbery convictions, tried to wriggle out of arrest by claiming his victim was really an aunt called Maria who lived in the countryside and he had been joking with her.
But the driver told him in slang Chilean: “I’m badder than you” - before reducing him to tears as he continued to whack him.
Police were waiting at the next stop and handcuffed the thief before taking his smartly-dressed victim away so she could make a statement.
The scenes were captured on CCTV on the bus and posted on YouTube.
Around 120,000 people had already watched the three-minute video, titled ‘Auntie Maria - Chav Beaten in Conce', by this morning.
Authorities said Pablo has been remanded in custody while a judge decides whether to formally charge him.
