Gets caught and details get circulated.

Maybe next time less yelling n filming, more phoning the police?
I suppose it is a dilemma, not being able to update your twitter feed, youtube and blog, AND make a phone call to the cops simultaneously...
decision decisions...

you can imagine them all getting their phones out during an attempted murder "I'm filming this for YouTube you'd better stop, you could get people calling you Gay! in the comment section I'm warning you!"

While I disagree with the stealing of the phone
the bloke doing the videoing is getting right on my nerves - if he's so offended why doesn't he do a citizen's arrest instead of expecting everybody else to do it for him. He sounds a lot like Adam Buxton I was half expecting it to be a comedy vid.

Well...
Citizens arrest is such a flimsy thing that it's often advised you don't do it. How exactly do you arrest someone without touching them? Touch them and it's assault.

Not sure I buy the touch them and it's assault thing.
The law is an ass thesedays where you can be assaulted, punched, kicked and the whole works and they get off with a caution, but you so much as dare put one finger on them and it's "assault" the only people above the law are the criminals ffs.
Bouncers do a lot of touching of people when they evict drunks from the nightclub.

I've had been arrested like that.
The police didn't seem to think anything wrong with a half nelson.
IIRC correctly you're allowed to use "reasonable force" if you believe a crime is about to happen or are sure a crime has been commited and there are no constables able to do the arresting.
Check the wiki page as there are some crimes this doesn't seem to apply too.
This whole "lay one finger on him and it's assault" is bollocks.

Thief was in a perfect position to get a broken jaw, smashed nose and fractured skull.
In that order. I wonder why the vid bloke didn't savagely attack him?!

Jesus, what a knob
I know everyone on the internet is 6'6" and built like Arnie, but if I really saw someone steal a phone I'd do a little more than shout at that person.

Call me a pessimist, but a retrieving a stolen phone is not worth risking getting stabbed/beaten unconscious.
