Netherlands citizen Jochem Janssen experienced two diametrically opposite sides of Mumbai.
On Friday, the army man, who fought against the Taliban in Afghanistan four months ago, was robbed while he had breakfast at McDonald's opposite CST.
Two college students seated next to him snatched his Apple iPhone and earphones from his hand and ran away. The people at McDonald's managed to nab one boy, but the other fled.
After getting a call, officers from the Azad Maidan police station rushed to the spot in five minutes and forced the student to return Janssen's belongings.
