Airbourne want some help in tracking down a fan who outed himself as a legit superhero when he jumped off his motorcycle in the middle of traffic to chase down a purse snatcher.
As Russia Today reports, a video apparently caught on the good samaritan’s helmet cam has been doing the rounds online. The original clip has racked up more than 350,000 views.
The video has been traced to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, with some internet users claiming to have found the social media profiles of both the alleged robber and the motorcycle-riding vigilante.
According to RT, amid claims the whole video is just one big fake, the motorcyclist has been identified as Vyacheslav Verkhogliad, a native of Kiev and apparent rock pig.
Oh yeah, that’s the one thing RT‘s report fails to mention. Verkhogliad pulled off the hot pursuit whilst listening to Aussie band Airbourne’s classic cut ‘Blonde, Bad And Beautiful’.
The clip has even caught the attention of the band, who took to Facebook to see if anyone knows “this hero of Rock’n’Roll justice” and bestowing him with “free tix for life”.
So, Mr Verkhogliad, if you are the GoPro-wearing, motorcycle-riding, thief-chasing hero and you’re reading this, send a DM Airbourne’s way, you’ve got a lifetime of free rock waiting for you.
