Shocking video posted online over the weekend shows the moment a woman cried for help laying in the middle of a San Diego street as a man walked away with a pink bike.
The video, originally posted to TikTok, shows a woman in a black striped tank top and black shorts apparently brawling with a man in a yellow t-shirt and black pants with black sneakers.
The man then grabs a pink bike by its handle bars and seat and calmly walks away with it, leaving the woman laying in the ground screaming, ‘Help me, help me, somebody help me.’ But nobody came to her aide.
As the man turns the corner, and stops to pick up a baseball cap, the woman comes back into frame trying to chase after him — with just one sneaker on.
A video caption says the incident happened on August 5 in San Diego’s East Village, and police were called to the scene.

The unidentified man then calmly walked away with the bike before the woman tried to follow him, wearing just one sneaker. It is unclear who owned the bike
While the caption of the video claims the man stole the bike from the woman, some posters casted doubt on the that description.
They noted the bike’s height matched the man, and the woman was much shorter.
San Diego Police Department officials said they have no information about the Island Street incident.
The incident comes less than one month after security cameras caught a burglar affectionately petting a golden retriever before stealing its owners $1,300 electric bike from his garage in San Diego.
In the video the man can be seen entering a lit and open garage before attempting to stealthily wheel away the expensive bike – but before he could, he was stopped by the friendly dog.
The crook could then be seen wheeling the bike back into the garage, putting it on its stand, and starting to rub the dog’s belly while telling it: ‘You’re the coolest dog ever!’
The wholesome moment did not deter the swindler, who swiftly returned to business and made off with the bike.
San Diego Police Department Lt. Brian Brecht described it as a ‘very unique situation.’
‘The guy enters the garage, grabs the bike and starts to walk out. He is about five feet outside the garage door, and a golden retriever comes outside, into the garage, and follows the guy out,’ he told NBC 7.
‘He immediately comes back in, parks the bike and starts playing with the dog.’

That incident happened at around 10.40pm on July 15 on Diamond Street in the Pacific Beach area of San Diego.
The burglar was wearing a blue and white hat, gray shirt, blue shorts, and orange athletic shoes. He was carrying a black and blue backpack at the time.
The criminal also alluded to the theft, telling the dog: ‘Where’s your dad? Your dad should not leave the garage door open.’
‘You got too much s**t, how do you have so much s**t in your house? Why do you have all this stuff? Dude, you might be the coolest dog ever.’
He then wheeled the bike off before hopping on the saddle. After pausing to watch for around ten seconds, the dog then ran after the burglar and left the camera’s field of view.
