An English actor has been captured on CCTV taking on a man who attempted to steal her phone.
Genevieve Chenneour, who stars in the Netflix series Bridgerton as Clara Livingston, was waiting for a coffee in a London cafe in February this year when the incident unfolded.
In the video, the man could be seen grabbing Chenneour’s phone from a bench where it was sitting behind her.
When Chenneour realised what was occurring, she turned around and confronted the man, who was sliding the phone into his pocket.
She snatched it back before the 18-year-old thief, later identified as Zacariah Boulares, was tackled by Chenneour's friend.
The video then showed her hitting Boulares with the phone multiple times.
On May 29, Boulares pleaded guilty to theft and assaulting another customer.
