A dramatic video shows the moment a Good Samaritan comes to the aid of a woman who is attacked by two bandits on a motorcycle in Ecuador.

The victim was in her car in the Sauces 8 neighborhood of Guayaquil on Saturday morning when the suspects approached her.

One of the men can be heard saying to the woman, “Give me your phone, give me your phone,” before the suspect on the bicycle snatches the device.

Then another driver rammed into the suspects, throwing them and their bikes into the air.

Two suspects stole a woman’s cell phone in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Saturday. As they tried to flee, a Good Samaritan rammed the perpetrators with his vehicle.

Two robbery suspects are knocked off their motorcycle in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Saturday when a Good Samaritan rushed to help a woman after she was forced to hand over her cellphone.

A motorcycle used by thieves to steal a cell phone was left wrecked on the ground in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Saturday after a Good Samaritan rammed his vehicle into it twice to prevent two suspects from escaping.

When one of the attackers tried to lift the motorcycle, the driver rushed forward again, crashing into the motorcycle and throwing the suspect to the ground.

After the thieves fled, the driver returned to check on the woman who had been targeted.

The National Police launched a manhunt for the two suspects, who were still on the run as of Tuesday.

The incident occurred after Yuliano Salazar, a 22-year-old with 40 percent mental capacity, ran over four suspects and killed two as they tried to rob him on a motorcycle.

The public prosecutor’s office charged him with intentional killing and ordered him to be remanded in custody.

President Daniel Noboa released a statement in Salazar’s defense and sharply criticized the justice system for blaming the university student.

A robbery suspect attempted to restart the motorcycle as his accomplice approached him, moments before a Good Samaritan crashed his vehicle into the motorcycle a second time, knocking the perpetrator to the ground before he and his accomplice fled in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Saturday

“I will not be a passive witness to the inertia and incoherence of a system that persecutes a young university student for defending his life and that of his fellow students when he was attacked by four armed criminals,” Noboa wrote on X.

According to statistics released earlier this month by the Attorney General’s Office, 182,293 crimes were registered in Ecuador in the first six months of this year.

A total of 43,475 of the incidents were reported as robberies, of which 16,444 occurred in the province of Guayas, which recorded the most robberies.

A total of 10,760 of the robberies were reported in Guayaquil, the capital of Guayas.
