The Turnip NewsA bad Samaritan came to the rescue of an area thief yesterday afternoon after an attempted mugging almost went awry. Theresa Morifin, 48, was walking home from work just after 7 pm when a crazed assaulter jumped out of an alleyway and attempted to steal her purse. Morifin managed to temporarily fend off her attacker until local bad Samaritan, Joseph Hahmoudi, 29, showed up and held her down. “I’m no hero,” said Hahmoudi. “I saw someone in need (of a purse), and I did what I could to help him out.” The victim was forcibly held down long enough for the mugger to snatch her purse, yank off an expensive pearl necklace and take her wedding ring. “I was just at the right place at the right time,” exclaimd Hamoudi, who then gave the thief directions to the nearest bus station so he could lay low for a while. “It’s all about helping out your fellow man, ya know?.” He exclaimed.
