Running With His Wallet

Pin It now! i just walked out of work and i hear a guy yelling and running towards my direction. i couldn't understand what he was saying, but he's an older guy shouting and running down the street. then i see another guy running past me. i realize the older guy is yelling "he took my wallet! he took my wallet!" then the cops are running by. i have no idea if they caught the guy. drama!

it makes me think what i would have done if realized earlier why the guy running past me was running past me. should i have tripped him or got in his way to stop him? what if he had a gun though? i hate to to think i would be scared to help someone in need, but this is new york city where you never know who's crazy.
