Two Clifton chiropractors are being lauded for stopping an attempted purse snatching.
James Hubert and Terry Watts were on their way back from a lunch break when they got caught in the path of a crime. According to the chiropractors, a man was sprinting across a strip mall parking lot with a woman?s purse, and a 62-year-old woman was in hot pursuit.
?I basically tackled him by the upper body and then I wrestled him to the ground,? says Hubert. ?Terry grabbed him by the arm and we just held him to the ground.?
Police say two men have confessed to the crime and admit doing it for drug money.
