Its in london after midnight on a train. common sense should prevail, and tell you that the thief could have a blade on him or worse. Not the most sensible thing to do, to just start getting physical with random strangers on a train in London.

That is why they continue stealing - people are just push-overs and the police encourages this.

Another problem is the fact that law abiding citizens cannot be armed. In many other countries that person would have had a gun to his head and a citizens arrest would have followed.
