According to the Military Times<\/a>, a Air Force officer who asked to be not identified was stuck on a bench while his wife was in the dressing room at TJ Maxx. He was probably stuck carrying her purse around, too (I’m just guessing). Meanwhile, a thief threw a brick through a glass jewelry case and scooped up some loot – $25k worth. <\/p>\n

The officer, stationed at Joint Base McGuire Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, said he got up and walked toward the jewelry counter to get a good description of the thief for police.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as he took off running, it just happened. My intent was not, \u2018I\u2019m going to take down this robber.\u2019 He took off and I just reacted,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n

The video captures the officer, who is in civilian clothes, sprinting toward the masked man and tackling him to the ground. The officer guesses he intended to restrain the man. When they fell to the floor, they rolled into a small display rack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like fricken Batman! One minute he was waiting for his wife, wishing he’d brought his Kindle, the next he’s tackling a violent vandal. Mr. Thug got away, but he left his booty behind.<\/p>\n
