A New York street performer chased down a crook who swiped cash from a donation box, and he barely missed a beat.

The would-be thief was caught on tape trying to pull off his heist during the performance of a trio of beat boxers on Astor Place. As he leans down to place money in the box, he can be seen in the video grabbing a handful of cash and running off.

Stunned, rapper Kid Lucky drops his microphone and chases the robber down, dragging him back and forcing him to return the money.

"He took our money," Kid Lucky said of the incident, referring to fellow performers Ashley "Saywut" Moyer and Kata. "Sometimes, things happen."
