I’m posting for a friend, actually, who is curious what this [news article](http://daynews.ru/index.php?act=show_news&id=939751) above the video says. (It doesn’t have to be an exact word-for-word quote, just the jist of the article).

Thanks

Quick and dirty translation:

Thief gets his neck broken (VIDEO)

Attempts to take things from those around them don’t always end in success for theives. A monitoring camera installed in one of the elevators of a Tokyo office has captured a unique case when a criminal received an appropriate rebuff. He was sent to hospital with a broken neck, while the girl, after giving evidence at the police station, was peacefully left to go her own way.

I have no idea if this is a reliable news source, by the way.
