Tonight police have a minor detained after a vicious mugging on Sunday morning in Belize City. It happened before 7:00 am on Barrack Road when an unsuspecting woman was walking as a purse snatcher snuck up behind her and grabbed the purse from under her arm - flinging her to the pavement as she screamed out.

Here's what surveillance video captured:

As you can see, the robber ran off in the direction he emerged from, leaving his victim wailing in terror. We were informed that police have managed to detain the suspected culprit - who is a minor - earlier today.
