Video has emerged of tennis great Serena Williams chasing down the man who took her mobile phone.
The Australian Open champion described the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday, saying she had ‘the speed, the jumps, the power and the body’ to chase the man down.
The incident occurred when Serena was having dinner with her sister, Venus Williams and fellow champion, Caroline Wozniacki.
She put her phone down beside her, and thought she saw a man hovering, and then quickly leaving.
“He began to run but I was too fast,” she wrote, “I was upon him in a flash! In the most menacing yet calm no nonsense voice I could muster I kindly asked him if he “accidentally” took the wrong phone.
“He stumbled on his words probably not expecting this to happen. While he was thinking of the right thing to say and eventually he said “Gosh you know what I did! It was so confusing in there. I must have grabbed the wrong phone.”
ABC News released security camera footage of the chase.
Serena celebrated her victory over thievery, saying: “I’ve got the speed the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm.”
“Always listen to your superhero inner voice. Always keep your things close! Fight for what’s right. Stand for what you believe in! Be a superhero!”
