This thief got more than he asked for when he tried to steal a phone from an unsuspecting woman

This footage was taken from an underground subway station in Russia.

A young woman was leaning against a wall, using her mobile phone, when a shady character decided she was a prime target and attempted to steal her phone.

However, the phone thief did not get very far -- he was met with a purse to the face and a swift kick in the balls!

The young woman quickly flees the scene, leaving the phone thief rolling on the ground in agony.
