Rock matriarch SHARON OSBOURNE has praised her son JACK for helping to catch a handbag thief in London last month (Sep08).
The reality TV star was walking along London's Marylebone High Street on 27 September (08) when he saw the man attempting to steal a woman's bag.
He chased after the robber and wrestled him to the ground, before handing the assailant over to police.
The 22-year-old has played down his part in the rescue incident - but proud mum Sharon has hailed him as a hero.
She says, "This guy is running down the street so Jack - Super Jack - comes running after him. He tackled the guy, got him down on the ground and then called the cops."
