A video is fast going viral on social media showing a young lady who was attacked and robbed by a guy in a white shirt on a motorbike at night between 8 and 9 pm in a quiet neighborhood in Accra.
The CCTV in front of one of the houses captured the whole incident. The lady could be heard screaming for help when the bike rider suddenly stopped and attacked her. She held on to her phone which the robber wanted to snatch. The assailant pushed her to the ground and grabbed her phone. He quickly went back to pick up his motorbike from the ground.
Before he could take off, the lady quickly got up and held him by the shirt. He tried speeding off but the brave lady jumped onto the back seat of the motor and held on tightly as she continued to scream for help.
Not long, young guys in the neighborhood caught up to them and captured the robber. The angry lady got a stick and beat her attacker with the help of some of the guys around. The robber was heard begging and saying it was a mistake.
The exact location in Accra as well as the names of the Victim and assailant are yet to be verified. However, some social media users claim it is a suburb near Kasoa.
Reactions from social media have some calling the lady Yaa Asantewaa for her bravery. Others also called on the security agencies to reward her bravery by recruiting her if she is interested.
A similar phone-snatching incident happened yesterday around Morocco spot in East Legon where one of the motorbike-riding assailants was caught and beaten to a pulp till he was rescued by the East Legon police patrol team.
Violent crime is increasing daily in Ghana. Especially in the big cities. Be vigilant when out at night. Stay safe.
