I don't know if I would I suppose it depends on if the adrenalin kicks in. If it was a shop robbery, probably no but a bag snatch yes. It seems more personal than a shop robbery.
Edit; Beat (no pun inteneded) me to it same as above video

Did he know the amount in the envelope? I haven't read the story but the guy appears to have tried to put right a wrong. Guess the value doesn't come into it.

Are you extremely well off or something? £2,000 is not a pittance to me, so yes, I'd've fought tooth and nail to get it back.

According to the OP it wasn't his money.

Oops, missed that bit.

Oops, missed that bit.

That's why he was called a 'have a go hero'.

Too many people DON'T have a go and that's one of the problems nowadays. People just look the other way and walk on.
