A man was battered by a mob before being arrested on Tuesday for the crime of apple picking, or rather, for plucking the Apple iPhone 5 from the fingers of a 15-year-old boy on the back of his father’s moto.

The man and his accomplice drove up behind the father-son duo before pouncing and speeding off.

Their smooth exit was prevented by the intervention of a mob, but one apple-picker escaped, leaving his friend to face the music.
