Williams had posted the story on Facebook, saying she was out to dinner with a
friend when a man came over and stood silently next to her at the table.
Now, a video taken from inside and outside the San Francisco restaurant - where
Williams was dining with a male friend who appeared to be Reddit founder Alexis
Ohanion - shows just what happened next when the athlete turned vigilante sprang
into action after the man snatched her phone.
Williams wrote on facebook thus: 'Not thinking I reacted (hence the
superwoman photo) I jumped up, weaved my way in and out of the cozy restaurant
(leaping over a chair or two) and chased him down,' wrote Williams on Facebook
Wednesday. 'He began to run but I was too fast. (Those sprints came in handy) I was upon
him in a flash!'
The video shows that is indeed just what happened, as Willaims appears to effortlessly make her way through the crowd and is able to quickly catch up
with the unidentified man. And despite being the victim, Williams tried to give the idiot thief the
benefit of the doubt.
'I kindly asked him if he "accidentally" took the wrong phone,' said
Williams.
He stumbled on his words probably not expecting this to happen. While he
was thinking of the right thing to say and eventually he said "Gosh you
know what I did! It was so confusing in there. I must have grabbed the wrong
phone."'Williams said she then thanked the man, took her phone and returned to her
dinner.
