Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof made a timely intervention by chasing down a man who stole an elderly woman's handbag in his home city of Vasteras Monday, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported.
A police statement said the suspect snatched the handbag as he cycled past the woman, who is in her 90s.
Aftonbladet reported that Lindelof chased and caught the man before handing him over to the authorities.
United were not immediately available for comment when contacted by Reuters but British media said the club had confirmed the Aftonbladet report.
Lindelof, who joined United from Portuguese side Benfica in 2017, started 35 Premier League games in the 2019-20 season as they finished third.
