Students hold laptop thief under citizen's arrest :: Ryersonian.ca
I would have mashed his head a bit more. But still, pretty cool that they stopped and restrained him.
Citizens arrest is kind of a legal gray area though and you're only allowed to do it (in Canada at least) if you see the crime occur. The guys restraining him here didn't see it they were just helping, so I wouldn't be surprised if the thief sued them for assault.
