FOSHAN, China, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- A phone thief in China learned the error of his ways when his victim, apparently a martial artist, executed a flying kick to knock him off his motor scooter.

Security cameras in Foshan, Guangdong Province, were recording Saturday when the scooter rider climbed up on the side of a parked truck and made off with the driver's cellphone.
