It’s always nice to see a criminal get caught in the act of committing a crime.

Who said that there are no stumbling blocks in the fight against crime? This was one time no one wanted to see a two-minute tripping penalty. Toronto’s enigmatic hero would do better with a standing ovation.

And a medal.

The man who bravely tackled an alleged truck hijacker on Queen Street Friday while trying to escape the out-of-control chaos certainly got a standing ovation from Toronto police officers at the scene.

“Someone track this person down and put out a reward,” Toronto Police Association president Clayton Campbell said on 640 Toronto radio along with retired Toronto Police Homicide Sgt. Hank Idsinga with morning show host Greg Brady on Monday morning.

Idsinga, who is 640 Toronto’s crime specialist, said it’s “great to see it from a citizen rather than using their cell phone to capture it for social media.”

Toronto police agree. In this horrific incident, they hit an officer and a beloved police horse named York, and they realized that things could have ended much worse than they did.

Much of that help came from brave citizens who stepped up—literally.

“We would like to thank members of the public who assisted during Friday’s incident on Queen Street,” said Toronto Police spokeswoman Stephanie Sayer. “The woman was immediately arrested at the scene, and the man was arrested shortly after the chase. Thanks to a resourceful civilian who intervened, officers were able to complete the arrest quickly and safely.”

This anonymous person all over social media is getting high praise from cops who say they could have easily lost the officers and the horse. They appreciated this support.

For those who haven’t seen it, it comes from the video shown on Toronto Sun website and all social networks. An allegedly stolen pickup truck was seen fleeing from responding police in which it struck a horse with an officer in the saddle before smashing the front window of the Little Burgundy store.

The truck narrowly missed a passing woman who barely swerved out of the way in time. York went to the vet and is said to be fine. The officer was treated at the hospital.

But the good Samaritan who stepped in and made this criminal escape and helped the police make the arrest remains unknown. We have to change that. Some officers want to shake the man’s hand. The public also wants to say thank you.

And I want to interview him.

what a star Maybe the Argos should bring someone to Montreal this weekend for their playoff game against the Alouettes because that was one heck of a takedown.

Police sources told me that the act of sticking out a leg and sending the supposed scum onto the pavement slowed him down enough that police were able to make an arrest further down Queen St. Special thanks to the cavalry unit, which not only helped, but also took risks.

Two people were detained in this incident. As Toronto SunSpiro Papuchkoski reportedly Jonathan Chabot Derosier, 33, of no fixed address, was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, injury to certain animals, two counts of abuse/damage to property over $5,000, four counts of assaulting a police officer with a weapon, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and common mischief/endanger the life or safety of the public, while Kedar Nicholas, 30, also of no fixed address, is charged with theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Their accusations have not been tested in court. Both were out on bail at the time of this alleged savage crime. And both are again on bail.

Meanwhile, the legend of the mysterious Avenger on Queen Street spreads.

It was almost the best course of the year in terms of arresting citizens. Maybe the cops scored a goal by handcuffing this slug.

But give this person an assist, the first star of the game and the key to the city.
