\u2018Vigilante\u2019 sparks debate after tripping man escaping Toronto police Twitter\/6ixbuzztvA man is going viral for helping Toronto police apprehend a suspect fleeing a potential crime scene, but his actions have spawned quite a bit of debate. Police videos can be pretty thrilling to watch unfold and we\u2019ve seen plenty of wild incidents over the years with cops hitting people with WWE finishing moves to chasing after a tractor that rammed through a Waffle House. The latest incident making waves online comes from Toronto, Canada where police gave chase to a suspect only for the man to be stopped by an onlooker who stepped his foot out. In the viral 20-second clip, a man can be seen getting physical with an officer before making a mad dash away only for a \u2018vigilante\u2019 on the scene to trip up the suspect, allowing the cops to make an arrest. Viewers split after \u2018vigilante\u2019 stops man running away from police The video was posted to both X and TikTok by 6ixBuzz and has been viewed over 300,000 times so far. Interestingly, viewers are split down the middle on the man\u2019s actions. While some have called the man a \u201chero\u201d and even a \u201ccitizen of the year\u201d nominee, others don\u2019t think his actions were warranted and he shouldn\u2019t have gotten involved. \u201cVigilantism is a crime,\u201d one user remarked. \u201cWhy do other people always want to play police?\u201d another rhetorically asked. Meanwhile, others were concerned that the man would be charged for tripping the suspect and felt he might have ended up being arrested as well. \u201cIs he guilty of assault?\u201d another questioned. \u201cThis is Canada you can\u2019t do that. Criminals have more rights than us,\u201d said someone else on TikTok. It\u2019s not clear so far what the man fleeing was charged with or what happened to the \u201chero\u201d who helped officers apprehend the suspect. In any case, it seems like viewers are completely split down the middle on if his involvement was for the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
