Viral Video: At this point in time, it should rather turn into a basic ‘caution’, that using one’s phone while standing near a metro door or train door should be a ‘no no’- That’s how many incidents have gone viral so far, where passengers were seen losing their phones to snatchers who waited for the last minute to commit the crime, leaving their victims helpless and phoneless. Showing another similar incident, a video came forward, where a boy snatched a passenger’s phone from a moving train. The passenger was sitting near the window when the phone was taken, meanwhile, the train had just begun to move.
The clip went viral almost immediately, as people found the matter somewhat ‘traumatising’. Apart from the main culprit in the clip, many also question the lack of actions by the cameraperson, who seemingly chose to record the incident, rather than intervening. The date and location of the matter could not be confirmed.
The video was shared on social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘_fear_of_life_’. The post was captioned, “Life is better in flip-flops.” The video was shared a while back and pulled more than 2M likes from people.
