Crime fighter Crowe nails thug
14/11/2005 - 08:14:57Movie wildman Russell Crowe put his razor sharp reactions to good use by helping police in Paris, France identify a violent thug.
The Gladiator star spotted an American couple being mugged as he left a restaurant in the French capital last month.
And although the attacker escaped, Crowe remembered his face and identified him to the authorities.
A witness says: "It happened too fast for him to react but he got a good look at the thug's face.
"He comforted the victims until cops came then he went to a police station and identified a mug shot.
"The mugger was then held in a line-up and Crowe made a positive ID."
