Police; Good Samaritan catches, knocks down, detains failed purse snatcher

Boston Police report a man who watched three guys knock down a woman in a vain attempt to get her purse on Milk Street caught up with the alleged ringleader on Surface Road near India Street and did to him what he did to the woman and then held him down until police arrived.

Steven Bell, 24, of Quincy, was charged with attempted unarmed robbery and assault and battery. Police say he was charged with possession of a Class E substance - an as yet unidentified prescription drug - after a needle he had pricked an officer during booking.

Innocent, etc.
