The driver in a viral Internet video showing a taxi deliberately crashing into a bag snatcher escaping on a motorbike has been identified as a 50-year-old man who has done good deeds more than once.
A surveillance camera captured the whole incident from start to finish on Hoang Van Thu Street in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City in a 30-second video that caused a stir on social media earlier this week.
According to the footage seen by Tuoi Tre News, a woman was walking on the sidewalk when a man approached her on a motorbike, snatching her handbag and fleeing immediately.
A scene from the opposite angle then shows a Mai Linh taxi suddenly swerving to the right side of the road before crashing directly into the bag snatcher, cornering him to the wall of a house.
The robber luckily cheated death and was seen quickly standing up from the crash and absconding on foot.
