Police in the Netherlands say an 81-year-old man who saw a shoplifter flee a supermarket in The Hague chased after the thief on his bike and crashed into the man to stop him.
Officers say the 81-year-old had observed the 29-year-old shoplifter run from the supermarket with two employees in pursuit.
"The man did not hesitate a moment, followed the fleeing suspect on his bike, rode into his legs, whereupon both fell," police said in a statement.
The cyclist injured his hand and shin in the fall and had to undergo treatment.
The shoplifter was arrested and found to be carrying 122 euros ($202) worth of cosmetics, police said.
