He was fearless but this coulda end up wrong...also watch the time and location...you know how many people around town then, you mean nobody coulda hold the bandit. But I also highlighted some parts of the article that were a concern to me.

Trinidad ExpressTourist chases after bandit through streets

IN what was described as a scene from a great action movie yesterday, a tourist burst through the glass door of
Mario's Pizza on Independence Square, Port of Spain, in hot pursuit of a bandit.
The Express was informed by the pizzeria's supervisor, Rhonda Thomas, that around
5.10 p.m., the man and another male friend were enjoying a family size pizza when the bandit grabbed his bag. The tourist chased after the thief, who, in his pursuit of freedom, slammed the left side glass door on the visitor, who was zeroing in on him.
The tourist is said to have "buss through the glass like a mad man" and chased after the assailant screaming "Help! Thief!". The bandit dropped the man's bag and continued running. The tourist, after taking up his bag, made his way back to Mario's.
When the Express arrived at the scene some minutes after the ordeal, the tourist had already been taken to the hospital by the fast food outlet's manager, along with his friend. Two police officers, who were on foot patrol, received information and had gone searching for the man, the Express was told.
The scattered glass and busy crowd outside the pizzeria did not stop customers from ordering their pizza. One lady uttered, "Wham, allyuh had fight", before making her way to the cashier.
Those already inside seemed not to be bothered with the flashes of the camera and continued enjoying their meal as normal.
Officers from the Port of Spain CID are investigating.
