Would You "Have-a-Go"????

Hi www.mylot.com Members in the UK will probably know what this topic is about by the title!! It is what we call someone who is prepared to take on "The Bad Guys" ............"Have-a-go-heroes" I was driving home from work today, and on the Local BBC Radio Station there was a news item that really caught my fancy, and I listened to it with a lot more interest.............. Apparently there are three women in Worcester, (for our American friends, this town is pronounced Wooster)!!! and, the three women do not know each other, but.......... They saw a fugitive running away from the Police, and crossing over the bridge of the River Severn. The man had been spotted by police officers in the city centre, but ran off. He was being chased by the officers across the River Severn Bridge from the city centre towards St John's when the three women stepped in! Almost acting in unison, they each responded in exactly the same way - they tried to apprehend the man, not knowing whether he was armed or could have injured them! Heroine Number One barred his way on the pavement, as he sprinted across the bridge, forcing him into the road. Heroine Number Two ran into the road, hit him with her shopping bag and tussled with him. Heroine Number Three ran into the road and challenged him. The fugitive then ran across both lanes of the road. A van driver saw the action and stopped. The driver then caught and held the fugitive! Seconds later officers caught up and he was taken away in a police vehicle. Here is my question......... 1. Would you do the same thing? 2. The "Have-a-go-heroes" did not know whether the fugitive was armed, and yet they still decided to apprehend him! Do you think they are "heroes" or a little fool hardy? Over to you............. PS:- The pic is the CCTV Film footage of the incident!
