A GROUP of good Samaritans have chased and caught a man after he allegedly stole a purse from a 61-year-old woman in the city today.
At 12.40pm, the woman was sitting outside a Gouger St cafe when a man allegedly stole her purse from the table.
A 41-year-old man witnessed the alleged theft and confronted the suspect, who allegedly punched him in the face and ran off.
Undeterred, the man gave chase. He was joined by other witnesses, including workers from the Adelaide City Council and the nearby Passatempo Caffe.
They chased the suspect to Whitmore Square, eventually catching him.
A patrol car then pulled into Whitmore Sq and arrested the suspect.
A 22-year-old Port Adelaide man has been charged with theft and assault. He was remanded in custody to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court next week.
