Mugger Goes From Robber To Robbed In Minutes

A German thief went from mugger to victim when he tried to mug a taxi driver but ended up having his own wallet snatched instead.

After the 20-year-old mugger stole the driver's wallet, a scuffle broke out between the two, in which the cabbie not only recovered his but also took his attacker's wallet.

The driver then locked himself in his taxi and called the police, who were amazed to find the mugger waiting patiently for them on the curb next to the vehicle when they arrived.

"He wanted his wallet back", a police spokesman said.

After taking the man in for questioning, police released him and returned his wallet. He faces charges for attempted robbery.
