Good Samaritans Catch "Most Wanted"

Well done brave men!
Police have paid tribute to a group of "Good Samaritans" who helped apprehend an armed robber.
Al-Fodday Fofanah, 30, of Ford Open Prison, attempted to rob a south-east London Barclays Bank in July last year.
He has been jailed at Woolwich Crown Court for nine years and six months for attempted armed robbery, possession of an imitation firearm and escape from custody.
Police praised the people who helped catch him for their "bravery".
Fofanah was on day release from prison on 25 July when he pulled out an assault rifle from his bag and aimed it at a cashier while demanding money at Barclays Bank in Borough High Street, the Metropolitan Police said.
The cashier dived behind the counter, no money was stolen and Fofanah left the bank. But he was pursued by Met Police Commander Adrian Hanstock, who happened to be in front of him in the queue.
He was chased down Borough High Street by the officer, along with the bank's assistant manager Dean Smith and Michael Duncan - a trainee ambulance driver.
