Henry flynn was enjoying a cup of coffee outside sanaa cafe saturday evening when he says he saw a man running out with a laptop. Flynn works as a security guard. So he says it fell natural to take matters into his own hands. I saw someone running out with the head. With a lot of talk in the right hand, almost like a Football Player would run with the football. I think the momentum of him running in opposite direction of my arm, pushing him in another direction, made him stumble over towards one of the cars. That was part. And then i had the ability to jump on top of him. This video from frisco live 4, 1, 5, shows san francisct police arresting a 19 yearold man and flynn talking with officers afterwards about what happened.

I did. Theyre really cool. Husband or boyfriend. Yeah, actually, i my phone that what i was running after the guys. So they like the minimum. Can we venmo you a little bit of money . Just so you can get your phone fixed and i would because not really too worried about that. This video has circulated on social media. People are now calling flynn a hero, but he humbly disagrees. Most people want to do the right thing. It just takes one person to really. I get ahead of it and everyone else will follow. Flynn is a fourthgeneration san franciscan who is fundraising to run for mayor this november. See myself as representing the silent majority, the city, which is the working class in bread and butter the city. I think what we need right now is the same way what happened at cafe where everyone came together. We need that citywide.
