This may be the worst getaway ever.

A Colombian purse snatcher at a bus depot in Bogota tried to escape after a failed bag snatching but was struck by a bus while fleeing.

The harrowing incident was caught by security cameras and shows the man trying to tear the purse from the woman's arms.

She holds on tight and he fails to get the bag. Nobody tries to help.

In an attempt to flee, he bolts out the automatic door but is smashed by a fast-moving bus.

At this point everyone rushes to his aid – even the woman whose purse he tried to grab.

The man somehow only suffered minor injuries but was quickly arrested.
