A teenage girl is now being hailed as a hero after she single-handedly fought off thieves trying to snatch her mobile phone. The incident happened in Jalandhar, Punjab where two bike clad men attacked Kusum Kumari with a knife and tried to take away her phone. However, showing indomitable courage, the 15-year-old not only foiled their plan but also fought them off.
According to media reports, the attempt took place when Kumari, a resident of Fatehpuri Mohalla in Jalandhar was walking back home. Suddenly, two men on a bike slowed near her following which the pillion rider grabbed her hand and tried to attack her with a sharp knife.
However, undeterred by the attack, Kumar retaliated and grabbed him, eventually pulling him off the bike. Soon the nearby residents approached the spot and got hold of the mobile snatcher. The caught man was then handed over to the police while an investigation to search his partner is ongoing.
