Jack Osbourne runs down and apprehends a mugger

Jack Osbourne 22, was hailed a hero last night after reportedly pouncing on a mugger who snatched a woman’s purse.   Jack who is the son of former X Factor judge Sharon and rocker Ozzy Osbourne noticed the mugger as he strolled near a coffee shop on Marylebone High Street, central London.

Jack a fitness and martial arts fanatic, chased after the thief, before wrestling him to the ground and pinning him in an arm lock yesterday afternoon.  After making a citizen’s arrest he and fellow shoppers held the mugger until police arrived.

A witness who saw the incident said of Jack: “He was amazing. He ran after the mugger like a man possessed—a real hero. It happened so quickly. But Jack spotted it, easily beat him in the race over 20 metres and pushed him to the ground. Whatever technique he used meant the robber couldn’t escape. The girl was very grateful, but Jack was very modest.”

A police spokesman confirmed the incident and Jack’s feat last night.
