Damn, videos like this make me ever so cautious of bringing a child into this world. I mean, I would hate to know what would have happened to the child once it left its mother’s arms.

Shared this morning on Twitter by @crimeairnetwork, it shows a man casually walking up behind the intended victim in an attempt to grab the infant from her hands.

Occurring in broad daylight on Durban’s Pine Street, the perp managed to escape, even though he was chased by members of the public and eventually hit by a car.

How amazing is the public’s response, though? And how does he manage to escape after being smashed by that car?

Desperate times.
