However, unfortunately he could not stop the other two snatchers fleeing with his mobile phone, which he has bought only a month ago.
Nonetheless, Hussain’s effort did not go in vain, as it further helped the Delhi Police to bust a gang of bike-borne snatchers that were involved in similar crimes in the locality. They have arrested one of the gang members, identified as Vijay Gupta, 22.
Hussain’s courage has also impressed the senior police officers and they have planned to honour and reward him at a public meeting.
