Barberian admits that fighting back against a mugger may not have been the wisest decision, but he stands by his actions.
...“It’s probably not one of my smarter ideas…but I realized he didn’t have a weapon and I just decided to take action and get what’s mine back.”
He says the mugger eventually ran off before police could arrive.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Barberian says he was victimized a second time when a woman stopped her car and picked up his iPhone, which fell to the ground during the melee.
About $125 is also missing after the tray of money was dropped. The video shows bills blowing down the street.
“I was shocked. She’s the thief,” he said of the woman who nabbed his phone. “The other man is probably just a mentally disturbed individual with addiction issues who decided he need a bit of money. The other person intentionally stole my phone".
