Shocking surveillance footage shows the moment a 17-year-old boy is killed after being run over by a bus while attempting to steal an elderly man’s cellphone.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The teenager is seen walking up to the 71-year-old man while he was talking on the phone on a street corner in the southeastern Brazilian city of São Paulo last month.
The victim appeared as he was about to cross to the opposite sidewalk when the teen suddenly grabbed his cell phone and took off running.
A few seconds elapsed when the bus crossed the intersection and plowed into the unsuspecting perp before it immediately came to a full stop.
HE COULD NOT BE SAVED
The teenager, whose name was not released, was rushed to Brasilândia Hospital, where he later died from the injuries he sustained.
Pedro Garbin, 38, told Brazilian news outlet Metropoles that the boy was able to get out from under the bus without assistance.
‘(He) rolled onto the curb. He was lying down, talking, moving,’ the businessman said.
Gabriel Silva, 20, was cutting a customer’s hair at a barbershop and was startled by the impact of the bus hitting the teen.
‘I heard a loud noise and ran out into the street immediately,’ he said. ‘(He was) lying in agony on the ground.’
