would you risk everything and fight back? >> i reach in the counter to give him the money, and i kind of looked over. i saw he was pulling out a bag. when he extended his arm out to take it, i saw an opening. i hit him real clean and kind of knocked him out. it's like when you hit a baseball, it's a home run. derek's never been robbed before. but earlier that day an inexplicable premonition snuck into his routine. >> i kind of had an idea something would happen. >> reporter: armed with his sixth sense, he stays on the lookout. when danger walk-throughs the door, it's almost like derek

expects it. but that doesn't keep him from being afraid there. >> is a lot of stuff going through my head. first it was panic to give him the money. when he came around the counter, i started thinking about my family. all that happened within a second. >> i kind of shook him, just shook him a little bit and slapped him on the face. when i saw the gun was a fake, i thought what is your problem? is son a [ bleep ] who are you trying to rob! >> derek calls the cops. and while he is waiting he notices that his clean punch has caused a bloody mess. >> i start looking at the blood while i was sitting there. and i'm not cleaning this up. so we have a roll of paper towels. i grabbed them paper towels. you can start cleaning up your own mess. >> while you're waiting.

>> when i first heard the case. >> i thought this guy had several opportunities to do the right thing. he had several opportunities to stop the lady. he could have handed it over to a tsa agent. he didn't do anything of that. but what is more aggravating is that theictim then goes over to a bench to get herself straight with her belongings, and he did the same thing right next to her. he looked right at her and new that was the same person right in front of him. >> even with all this video, the odds are pretty long that they'll find a thief who has flown off to who knows where. >> there literally could be thousands of passengers flying out at any given time in a particular concourse. they might live here. they might not. they might live overseas. just because we have them on video doesn't mean we know who they are. >> it takes lieutenant montgomery three days of pouring through hours of airport security video to find the thief. finally found him coming into the airport, went up to a kiosk, a and that's how he checked in. and only one person used the

kiosk at that precise moment. well got his name, picture and it's the same person in the video. we know who it is. >> after more digging, lieutenant montgomery discovers that the man lives right there in south florida. >> we knocked on the door of the condo and he answered the door wearing the lady's watch. he said it was a gift from god. i think he really did believe that he said every since i have received this watch from god i've had nothing but good luck. the woman gets her watch back three months later. the thief is found guilty of grand theft and gets a fine and probation. safe to say his luck has run out. coming up, flames devour an occupied house, and a neighbor has a decision to make when "caught on camera: what would you do 3?" returns. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain...

right into action. >> they tried to keep me away. they tried to get me up on the main deck of the boat because i was no help and i was panicking. >> the doctors work feverishly to keep logan and jenny alive. >> it was pretty serious. she started to throw up bubbles, froth. she's not getting oxygen to her body. in any kind of emergency like this, oxygen is one of the first things you can do to save a life. >> within half an hour, the rescuers get logan, jenny and andy, all still in dangerous condition, to an emergency room on the island. the pilot, not badly injured, stays with the plane to get it towed to shore. it never makes it and ends up sunk and unsalvageable. after four days in the hospital. father, mother and son slow slowly mend. the team work and commitment of strangers has saved their lives. >> it's such a rewarding feeling

knowing that you were there at the right time, at the right place to help another human being. >> good to see you. really good to see you. >> i thought about what a hero is. it's somebody that doesn't hesitate. when they see someone that needs help, they don't hesitate at all. they don't think about risks to themselves. they don't hesitate at all. a rage inferno with the building's owner possibly trapped inside. a merchant down the street sees the smoke and dashes to the scene. >> i'm thinking if i don't help the people are going to die. >> february 18th, 2012, waltham, massachusetts. bobby singh runs the convenience store across the street from the nebraska funeral home. he knows the owner well. security videos capture the house starting to go up in

>> i heard a voice hollering. first i thought oh dear, someone's house in the neighborhood is on fire. you grow used to the noises of the street. >> from another part of the house, kenny staggers out behind bobby singh through the thick choking smoke, but where is wayne? >> kenny come with me right away. but wayne still inside. >> by the time i got eight or ten feet into the living room, which is in the front of the house, i saw flames coming up over the windows. the flames came up through the windows like they belonged in the house and i didn't. >> just three minutes after someone out in the street calls 911, fire trucks arrive. the house is totally consumed by flames. >> i say listen, wayne is still inside the house. i'm still stressful that wayne is still in there. >> unbeknownst to kenny and bobby, wayne has managed to hobble out the back door. the house was totally engulfed.

bobby singh was in the front of the house. and i kept trying to holer to him so he would know i was outside. but in the thick gray and black smoke, he couldn't see me. and i just hope he heard me. >> out of earshot from wayne, bobby still has no idea that his friend has escaped. >> when he pulled up, bobby singh had tears in his eyes. he was telling my son that he couldn't get me out of there. he tried. so he brought him over to see me and saw me in the driveway and started to cry. >> the fire department later determines the fire's cause to be improper disposal of smoking materials. >> i will tell you he demonstrated an act of courage and bravery. >> a few weeks later wayne's son paul presents a resolution to the waltham town council honoring bobby singh. >> you have to pause and put yourself in his shoes at that

very moment and ask, would you have done what he did? we all say we would, but really would you? his son is with his him here. >> god gave me a chance, gave me strength to save somebody. that's what i did. >> yes, i consider bobby to be a hero, and my hero. coming up, bike thieves go to work in broad daylight. >> my bike was stolen from right in front of my apartment. >> when "caught on camera: what would you do?" returns.

bold thieves prowl the crowded streets of manhattan, brazenly breaking bike locks in front of dozens of witnesses. stealing the bicycle and disappearing into the urban jungle. if you were walking down the street and witnessed a blatant robbery like this, what would you do? would you mind your own business?

call the police? or would you confront a potentially dangerous thief and risk putting yourself in harm's way? in real life casey is no thief. he's a filmmaker working with his brother van and his pal malik perry to conduct his own experiment on human nature. >> our goal in making this video is to steal the bikes in the most audacious way possible. all we wanted was to get caught. all we wanted was for somebody to stop us. >> after moving to new york city in 2001, casey quickly learns what can happen to bikes and bike parts that are locked up outside. >> my first job was as a bike messenger. i lived here a couple of days and my bike, my means of income, my means of transportation was stolen from right in front of my apartment. >> he decides to see what people will do, if anything, when they reasons a flagrant theft right

in front of their own eyes. so he locks up his own bike in various public places in new york and prepares to steal it. all captured by a secret camera. >> we shot most of the video on little point and shoots. these things can zoom in pretty it wasn't a camera crew with us or anything like that. it was somebody standing across the street with a little camera. we tried to make it so there was no question about what we were doing. i first step, a hacksaw at 1:00 p.m. in the heart of downtown manhattan. >> we started with a hacksaw. just super conspicuous, noisy, it took a while. >> as the video shows, more than a dozen people watch him and do nothing. >> just hacking through that chain, waiting for somebody to grab me on the shoulder. waiting for somebody to ask what i was doing.

volumes to how little people give a [ bleep ] about bike theft. >> i just got a lot of glares. one person screamed somebody while they were working, but nobody stopped. >> off camera a parked policewoman does approach malik. >> she came up and said you can't ride that in here. you have to walk it out of the park. and i had giant bolt cutters in my hand and a stolen bike. >> hood up. sunglasses on. trying to look as criminal as possible. >> casey's next tool takes the game to a whole new level, a noisy cordless angle grinder that winds its way through chain. this time the police do show up. after nine minutes. >> and casey tells them his story. >> when the police finally show upped, i was kind of relieved once they didn't arrest me. i was a little bit happy to see them. >> but the truth is in the big apple bike theft is a low police priority. so what is the takeaway? is there a lesson to be learned

from their anthropological study? >> people are so crazy about certain things in new york. you see people arguing over basically nothing. like you bump into somebody by accident and that will be a huge fight. but you steal a bike right in front's face, and they just look at you. >> coming up, an attack on a cop tests the onlookers at a fast food restaurant. >> i was worried about the guy grabbing the officer's gun and shooting all of us. >> when "caught on camera: what would you do" returns. it's back to school time

looked like they were clinched and he was concealing something. that's when i decided to take him to the ground to effect the arrest. you have a split second to decide how you were going to bring him down. i used a leg sweep effectively. it went textbook. he went to the ground. i had my knee on him. i had my knee on him. i was attempting to put the handcuff on. and in a split second, like superman, he lifted up. and the next thing i know i was up in the air with him. >> in a single movement the suspect gains his footing and lifts meyer off the ground. >> grabbed the officer, picked him up. to me it looked like the guy was trying to slam his head on to the floor. >> the security video shows officer meyer struggling to gain control. but the suspect seems to possess amazing strength. >> once he lifted me in the air he was determined to try to break away from me. my only concern was holding onto him and keeping him there until my partner arrived so we could take him into custody.

>> it looks like deputy meyer is on his own until backup arrives. but as ramos watches, he knows he has a decision to make. assist the officer or stay out of the way. >> i said to myself, i have to do something. i was worried about the guy grabbing the officer's gun and shooting all of us. >> so what does he do? ramos enters the fray and several other men follow his lead. >> i grabbed his two wrists so for him to pull out that taser. >> i deployed my taser. he had no problem at all taking the taser. >> the taser has minimal effect. so deputy meyer tries again. >> the whole time on the video when i'm in the front the taser is deployed in the upper chest area. >> this time the taser subdues the suspect and myers is able to get the cuffs on him. >> it seems like it took forever for my backup to get there.

in reality i believe he was there within a minute. >> more officers arrive on the scene and the fight is over for the moment. >> i walked him outside and placed him in his police car, and i turned around to get my paperwork started and he kicked out the window. we had to taser him again. take him out of the police car and then shackle his legs. >> davis is transported to a local hospital where he's found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol. >> a lot of times drugs have an influence on people. specifically cocaine and pcp can give them super human strength with a big adrenaline dump. >> a judge finds patrick davis guilty of multiple offense, including battery on a police officer, attempted armed robbery and resisting arrest. he is sentenced to nine years in prison. in the end, nobody is badly

hurt. deputy meyer has only minor injuries. >> i sustained bruised ribs from the wrestling and body slam that the suspect gave me. >> but is it really a good idea for bystanders to step in? police usually encourage witnesses to call 911 and not get physically involved. >> in that particular instance, i believe they made the right decision. a violent felon was taken off the street with the assistance of three complete strangers. i think each individual person has to make their own decision. >> it works this time, but it's a risk that must be taken carefully. all aboard bus 91. april 2012, boca raton, florida. two elderly sisters, one in a wheelchair, are about to get on, when they're attacked from behind. >> and all the sudden you see him real fast grab the purse. >> in a terrifying instant, the

after we got her up, she said nothing hurt. and we were all right. the younger sister after the paramedics and all that came, she had a 200 over 100 blood pressure. >> the strong armed robber remains at large for 12 days, and then an odd thing happens when a news report plays a security video moments before the attack. the suspect can be seen staring at the women, and then riding off on his razor scooter. >> somewhere in the newscast viewing area, a man recognizes the guy on the scooter. it turns out to be his own son. what would you do if you saw your child on the news committing a crime? this father tells his son to turn himself in. when the son refuses, his father calls the police. the 96-year-old ends up with two broken ribs, but both women recover, physically if not financially.
