A bunch of brave children from Kandivli did something most adults would hesitate to do: they took on a chain-snatcher who attempted to rob a 10-year-old girl of her gold pendant on Tuesday afternoon. Armed with sticks, they chased him for some distance but ultimately had to retreat after the robber flashed a knife. The 10-year-old victim lives in Kandivli with her family and sister. 

Her father, a vegetable vendor, told mid-day that she had gone out to purchase washing soap when the accused tried to snatch the pendant from her neck.
