The video of a man tackling a thief has gone viral online, and police are looking for him in order to show their gratitude.

A thief who stole a watch from a shopping mall escaped into a subway station in Nanjing city, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, last Saturday. Hearing the shouting of the shop owner, a man pursued the thief into the station, down an escalator, finally tackling him, sliding to a halt on the ground. 

Despite the thief still struggling, the man kept him in a chokehold until he was finally subdued, with others arriving to help. 

The thief has been detained and the watch successfully recovered.
