WATCH: Durban woman fights off alleged phone thief
This woman was not going to give up that easily. Not without putting up a fight!

But let's be honest, our true instinct would be to get away as quickly as possible.

That was probably what this alleged phone thief was expecting when he decided to ambush two women who were enjoying some pool time with their children at the Barcelona flats near North Beach.
In the CCTV footage that has been making the rounds, two women can be seen sitting at a table when the man jumps over the fence, moves towards them, and makes an attempt at stealing, presumably, their phones.
However, they were not just going to let him get away with it.

One of the women almost immediately starts fighting back and manages to land quite a few impressive hits as the thief realises he has made a mistake while trying to run away.
It also seems that during the altercation, the thief had dropped some important documentation such as his identification documents and what appears to be court documents.
