A resident of Chicago, USA, responded quickly to thwart a burglary. Around 3:30 p.m., Jason Williams got a security alert on his phone about a break-in. Jason describes how, upon arriving at his residence, he picked the very first makeshift weapon he could find, which turned out to be a frying pan. Shortly after, he claims the uninvited guest descended the stairs, and an altercation broke out. The entire pursuit was recorded by a security camera and shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
In the video, the suspected burglar is shown being chased off from his doorstep by Jason, who swings a pan furiously to drive him away. The man attempts to escape by running around the back of the house, but eventually turns around and exits through the front. Before he can open the gate to flee, Jason delivers a few hard blows.
When the police finally arrive at the scene, Jason instructs them to apprehend the burglar, which they promptly do.
