An intrepid US Marine from California chased and tackled an alleged purse-snatcher in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood Tuesday night, then held the suspect until police arrived, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office said.
A statement from Conley’s office said Demetrick Nealy, 26, of Roslindale grabbed a 41-year-old woman’s purse from behind as she walked down Beach Street at about 7:30 p.m.
A Boston police report said the woman told officers that she “ran after [Nealy] yelling that her purse had been stolen.”
She was heard by the Marine, a 23-year-old lieutenant from Corona, Calif., who chased Nealy for about four blocks and tackled him on Stuart Street, said Conley’s office and police.
“This young man saw what was happening and sprinted into action,” Conley said in a statement.
