Since being shared online, the video has gone viral and prompted several reactions online with many commending the teenager for her bravery.
A teenage girl in Punjab is being praised for her bravery and showing nerves of steel and grit after she fought off a couple of snatchers armed with sharp-edged weapons who tried to steal her phone. The 15-year-old, identified as Kusum Kumari, was returning home from her tuitions classes when she was attacked by the bike-borne men at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Nagar near Jalandhar-Kapurthala road.
A CCTV footage, which has now gone viral on social media, shows Kumari holding on to a snatcher despite being attacked with a sharp object. She finally manages to pull down one of them off the bike. Moments later, a passerby can be seen rushing towards the girl and helping her restrain the man as the other man on the bike flees.
“I was going home when two bike-borne men attempted to snatch my mobile phone. The accused sitting on the pillion seat grabbed my hand and took my phone,” Kumari told The Tribune.
“However, I resisted and held his hand. Following which I followed them on their bike and grabbed the pillion rider’s t-shirt. He later hit me and attacked my wrist with a datar. But I continued to follow him and later dragged him from his bike. A few minutes later passersby rescued me and held the snatcher. I got my phone later,” she said.
