A surveillance camera captured the frantic moment when neighbors beat up a thief in broad daylight in Colombia.
Two suspects were seen fleeing on a motorcycle while riding on the sidewalk, when they suddenly lost control and crashed into the gate of a home in La Magdalena, Bogotá.
The attackers, who had apparently assaulted a pedestrian on July 31, immediately got up from the ground to continue their escape when a woman confronted one of the attackers and chased him.
As the suspect, who was riding the motorcycle, attempted to restart it, a resident dragged him off the motorcycle and threw him onto the sidewalk.

Once on the ground, the man was repeatedly kicked and hit with objects.
He was dragged by his collar and then tried to escape, but was immediately thrown onto the pavement. Amazingly, he got back to his feet and tried to run through traffic again before several residents stopped him.
At the side, other passersby were seen grabbing some cement blocks that had come loose from the wall and using them to break the motorcycle.
After nearly two and a half minutes, the beating stopped when a man stood over the suspect and grabbed him by the shoulder to make sure he didn’t try to escape again.
