A video of a Chennai policeman chasing two bike-borne thieves is going viral on social media for all the right reasons. The CCTV footage shows sub-inspector Antilin Ramesh chasing and nabbing the mobile snatcher as he tried to escape.

It’s not a scene from any movie. But the real life hero SI Antiln Ramesh single handed chasing and catching a mobile snatcher riding a stolen bike. Follow up led to arrest of three more accused and recovery of 11 snatched/stolen mobiles. pic.twitter.com/FJYdoma7I4

Ramesh follows him on his bike and nabs him by his collar. Ramesh did not let go of the thief even though he kept riding the two-wheeler. Ramesh runs alongside the moving bike but did not let go of the thief’s collar until both of them fell. However, one of the thieves manages to escape.
