An Australian police sergeant was in a suit and tie doing a live TV interview outside a courthouse when he heard shouting behind him. He turned around to see a suspicious looking guy being chased. So he took off running and made a textbook tackle, bringing the guy to the ground.
Turns out the creep made inappropriate comments to a teenage girl and her dad was trying to run him down. He was charged with public nuisance.
