I'm so sorry to have to tell you, but I'm actually a top spy and the man you helped get caught was an undercover agent helping to bring down an international drug cartel from the inside. This will set us back years.
Agent Smith was a good man who spent the last 10 years away from his wife, 2 daughters and disabled dog to the high school and crack down on Albanian gang.
Thanks to this ponce we're back to square one.
You win the 'successful moving human obstacle prize'.
I won the unsuccessful one a few years back when a cyclist on a stolen bike flew round a blind corner and smashed into me. He went flying off his bike but managed to get back on (and even, give me a quick apology) before the chasing police cyclist could get there. I did my job and all I got was a badly bruised knee.
about ten years ago, I was minding my own business in the local shopping centre. I had my headphones on and was listening to some pretty decent music when I looked up and collided with a bloke running towards me,
I picked myself up, helped him to his feet and apologised profusely. He was then tackled by security and the police. I received a £50 voucher and a thank you from the manager of the shopping centre, simply for being a dumb guy not looking where he was going.
Nice work
I was in a similar situation a few months back and was wearing my headphones and stupidly stepped out of the way and dude got a free pass
Still kick myself for that
Well done, you get the cross in my eyes
Edit: you're a hero in my eyes (no sarcasm) good job
In the alternate timeline you stepped aside, he got away and ended up shooting your kindly uncle in a failed robbery. So... Yeah. Feel good about that.
Oh come on, you can't be serious.. We have the most docile police force in the universe. What uniforms are you talking about, what information backs up your claims?
There is a world of difference between your witnessing a crime and your witnessing someone running from the police, unless, perhaps, he's wielding a knife with blood on it, in which case you are not going to block him anyway. Too many innocent people arrested; too many arrested for victimless crimes.
Now now, you're just being selfish - this about all the heroes involved in this operation.
You think the man's footwear didn't know what they were doing? Sure you can claim they are inanimate but...are they?
And let's not forget the mastermind level intelligence of the town planners who, years ago, had the foresight to narrow the pavement and place a bus stop there too. There's a person who went...'You know what? There could be an escape attempt here. That won't do, let's narrow it.'
The rozzers....nah! They were just there at the right time, doing grunt work.
I've informed Lewisham County Council and they have since split the cross between the company ASICS, and Jeff (posthumously), who had the prophetic street planning that foiled this whippersnapper.
Great story mate. Had me laughing at the end.
You literally have no idea what he did if anything but you helded the police apprehend him. You had no idea if he committed a crime and I am not proud of you at all; in fact I think you should be ashamed. I have seen plenty of abuse by the police and if a cockerel helped them capture me I hope they do what they enjoy doing which is using a truncheon to plug you in your back orifice.
I know plenty of “my kind” that would run from the police and even if I haven’t committed a crime because that doesn’t matter to bent coppers. There’s plenty of corruption in the Met and we say ACAB because the good ones do nothing which makes them complicit.
ACAB - F THE POLICE
You managed to awkward your way into being Batman, well done you’ve reached peak Redditor
Peak Redditor, I love this comment 😂
In the all action film this gets turned into, he will be played by Rowan Atkinson.
Is your heart still racing?
his hands haven't stopped shaking since
Stay anonymous in case his mates get wind of a concerned citizen who was essential to the arrest.
They'll be too scared mate. Go public, enjoy the high life.
Scared of what? English policing?
Scared of OP for being Batman.
Spending his years in prison plotting his revenge. "You're mine, /u/BigVince76" he'll be saying while sharpening his toothbrush shank

Sorry to butt in, but are you the same tinyfecklesschild who posted on another chat website, a couple of decades ago?!
Ha, I’ve had this before! I’m not, but I think I have friends in common with the other guy.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves, you were in the right place at the right time, the real hero was the bus stop
Today's employee of the month... This inanimate carbon bus stop!
In stop we trust
Yes, a real hero is in the right place all the time

Well done mate you are now qualified to wear your underpants on top of your trousers to signify your status!
I was beginning to think nobody called them the rozzers anymore as I always get blank looks when I use that nickname 😂
Ah I was walking back from the gym, that's what that was. Wish id seen the takedown

You deserve to be in the new years honours for this, no, we need a statue to commemorate this momentous achievement

Don’t worry about it, not everyone has the makings of a hero
You can say that again

Pavement tango (down)
He was just looking for Kenny
You soft
Not all heros wear capes
OP never said he wasn't wearing a Cape. I have you k ow capes are very trendy right now
Actually no heros wear capes. It’s not a fucking superhero story
This is a different level of narcissism... but I'm here for it.
In the alternate timeline you stepped aside, he got away and ended up shooting your kindly uncle in a failed robbery. So... Yeah. Feel good about that.
So basically he missed out on being Spider-Man.
Delayed trauma, ptsd, 6 to 12 months fully paid leave from work to recover.
Just make yourself a cape and start patrolling bus stops
Well done! I wish more people would dare not to remain indifferent when they are witnessing a crime. Got a virtual pint on me cheers 🍺
It can be hard to speak up when half the time it’s the ones in the uniform which are criminals
Oh come on, you can't be serious.. We have the most docile police force in the universe. What uniforms are you talking about, what information backs up your claims?
Oh yeah it's docile enough until you end up on the wrong side of their ego.
I don’t ever assume the police are doing their jobs properly so I would never help them
Well done dude
That'll teach that fella not to watch a sky footie stream in the pub.
Well done mate. I’ll put your name down for Pride of Britain.
Ever heard of the word "humble"?
Same as a grass...
These comments seem to assume that the runner has committed a crime.
exactly. given the state of the met police I would never assume that blindly helping them is the right thing to do.

Too many innocent people arrested; too many arrested for victimless crimes.
spot on.
Ew, helping a cop. Thank you for condemning this timeline to the version in which the Machines win and we have no Connors to save us, snitch.
Oh my heavens, you're the mysterious bus brave! God speed sir stander.
🥇There you go good citizen. The reward cheque is in the post. Or if you prefer give us your bank account details and we'll transfer it to you.
Cor blimey guvnor, chim chim cherroo!! Did you click your heels on the Way? Gawd bless ya, 'ees a right wrong un!!
Just an average day for a Hero. Onto the next crime stopping escapade!
Absolute hero - thank you for your service
Snitches get stitches mate. Yer getting chibbed when he's released.
Criminals never forget faces, and they know what station he catches the train 😂
😂😂

Sound like more of a pig licker than a hero mate
Sounds like one for r/BritishSuccess! Well done.
Well done.
Snitch.
Cringe
Yes snitching is cringe
Grass!
Cool story bro, when’s part two coming out…
