Boy, 17, meets tragic deserved end just moments after stealing 71 year-old man's phone
2024-07-22

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking surveillance footage shows the moment a 17-year-old boy is killed after being run over by a bus while attempting to steal an elderly man's cellphone.

The teenager is seen walking up to the 71-year-old man while he was talking on the phone on a street corner in the southeastern Brazilian city of São Paulo last Friday.

The victim appeared as he was about to cross to the opposite sidewalk when the teen suddenly grabbed his cell phone and took off running.

A few seconds elapsed when the bus crossed the intersection and plowed into the unsuspecting perp before it immediately came to a full stop.

The teenager, whose name was not released, was rushed to Brasilândia Hospital, where he later died from the injuries he sustained.
