When Kendrick Taylor and his friends were shopping near a Florida Winn-Dixie grocery store back in 2014 when they heard screams coming from the parking lot. Taylor immediately looked and saw a thief knocking over a 76-year-old woman and attempting to steal her purse.
Taylor, a Navy veteran, sprang into action and ran over to help. When the purse-snatcher tried to run away, Taylor gave chase and tackled the thief to the ground and waited for the police to arrive!

Needless to say, Taylor reacted in the best way possible…
