Thieves, beware: don't mess with Mehrtash Mandana. The NY Post reports Mandana was standing at East 95th Street and typing e-mails on her BlackBerry when a teenaged bandit grabbed the 32-year-old real estate agent's smartphone right out of her hands. Mandana, unfazed and pissed, took off after the pint-sized pickpocket. She tells the Post: "He was a little runt. I went up to him and punched him in the shoulder. The cops had to pull me off him." The vigilante real estate agent—who apparently has better luck with this sort of thing than some movie stars—was ultimately able to retrieve her BlackBerry after a nearby security guard tackled the 14-year-old snatch-thief.

Snatch thief? I thought he stole a Blackberry
"Land snatch...see snatch"
I stole her Raspberry last night...
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Hell hath no fury like a crackberry addict separated from their precioussssss.
very nice.
Great story.
Good for her. More people need to beat the hell out of these punks on the street.
He was arrested last year with a similar crime. The guy obviously needs help before he starts turning into a career criminal.
too late. in the eyes of a DA and the jury he already is.
Purse snatchings happened on a daily basis in that area in the late 70s, early 80s. I am glad she thwarted the felon in training...
She had no way of knowing whether this piece of shit was armed and if she was risking more than a phone, so this was rather foolish. Taht said, I am thrilled she did this, and I hope word gets out in prison that this turd got a beat-down from a victim.

Wait, who is Jon Hill?
Tough talk after the fact. She wouldn't have gotten the chance to punch him had the security guard not tackled the thief.
I'd also like to snatch those stupid devices out of anyone's hand who's slowly walking and texting at the same time, and toss the goddamn thing into traffic.
