The News Of The World has reported that Adrenaline Junkie, Jack Osbourne has wrestled a mugger to the ground in Marylebone High Street in central London, and then held him in an arm lock until the police arrived.

He said: “I could see the girl was in trouble, it just felt like the natural thing to do. I’m glad it turned out okay.”

A source said: “He was amazing. He ran after the mugger like a man possessed, a real hero. It happened so quickly. But Jack spotted it, easily beat him in the race over 20 metres and pushed him to the ground. Whatever technique he used meant the robber couldn’t escape.

“The girl was very grateful, but Jack was very modest.”

One part of me admires Jack for his bravery, but my other more cynical side is wondering if this stunt has anything to do with the new series of his show that has just launched on ITV2?
