However, the man ignores the command and continues running away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A shopper who appeared to be heading back to his car with his groceries later sees the suspect running in his direction. While his companions immediately ran to the side, he stayed behind and pushed the cart toward the man, causing him to run into it and stumble onto the floor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After the suspect falls, an officer immediately catches up and apprehends the shoplifter. Three other policemen then help the good Samaritan with his groceries after the suspect walks away with an officer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While the shopper\u2019s actions helped with the successful capture of the criminal, authorities advise the public to be careful when interfering with police operations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAgain, while we are eternally grateful for this citizen&#8217;s quick thinking and impeccable timing, we never encourage anybody to intervene in a police situation,\u201d the department said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIf the decision is made to do so, please consider the safety of yourself and all those around you as a priority,\u201d it added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The man was later identified as Marcus Smith, 41, as per Fox 黑料社-affiliate WAGA. Following his arrest, he was charged with shoplifting and obstruction. <strong>Ryan Arcadio <\/strong>\/<strong>ra<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED
