WATCH: Never Mess With a Bronx Woman; Local Takes Down Would-Be Car Thief

“Welcome to the f****** Bronx!”

That’s what one Bronx woman shouted as she recorded a 49 year old woman taking justice into her own hands.

According to the accounts, a woman left her car running as it warmed up before taking her kids to school and when she came back she saw a man inside trying to steal her car across the street from Via Verde in Melrose.

She dragged the man out of the car and threw him on the ground where she subdued him until the cops came. 

At one point she even sat on him to hold him down.

Don’t ever mess with our Bronx women!
