Visuals from the scene show the groom running after a mini-truck, reportedly driven by the thief. In a display of grit, the groom jumped onto the moving vehicle, gripping its railing tightly before maneuvering into the driver’s cabin through the window.
As the groom confronted the thief, a biker blocked the mini-truck’s route, preventing an escape. The groom, in a fit of rage, punched the thief repeatedly. Soon, other members of the wedding procession joined in to reprimand the thief.
Videos of the incident have gone viral on social media, sparking both amusement and debate about the dramatic turn of events. Despite the chaotic scene, the groom eventually returned to his wedding, earning praise for his determination to retrieve his stolen cash.
