A photo of an off-duty Swedish police officer taking down a pickpocket in a public park has gone viral, with more than 10,000 likes on Instagram in less than 24 hours.
Mikaela Kellner was sunbathing in a public park in Stockholm when a man pretending to sell magazines approached her and her group of friends, stealing one of their mobile phones in the process.
Ms Kellner, a crossfit and power-lifting enthusiast with 11 years of police experience, quickly gave chase, tackled and pinned the culprit to the ground. The man was arrested and taken away by on-duty officers wearing more traditional police outfits.
"'I would have stepped in no matter what my outfit. Had I been naked I would also have intervened," Ms Kellner said. "He realised quite quickly that it wasn't worth struggling."
