She outran two young, nimble black kids while wearing clogs and a rather tight-fitting dress/skirt? And held him immobile using the hold pictured, so that he couldn’t wriggle away? True, she’s a big woman, but I think there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Reminds me of those “Cops” episode where the big fat cop in full gear and street shoes with a bulletproof vest catches up to the wiry black perp who’s running like a cheetah.

Looking at the photo, the kid’s reaction and reading the story, this is either satire or a blatant made up lie.
Vondrich said the teen appeared to be out of shape and handed off the phone to his more nimble pal, who ran off.
But she kept after the slow boy, who was huffing and puffing down Wythe Avenue during the five-block chase.
The Wonder Woman grabbed hold of the teen at South Sixth Street and Wythe Avenue, wrapping her arms around his chest and pinning him against a car.
“He was so pudgy and was slowing down, so that’s why I caught up to him,” Vondrich said, adding she felt sorry for the kid.
Sound like he ran about as fast as a turtle, not like a cheetah.
The kid is “pudgy,” plus he was probably slowed down by having to pull up his pants, and loose shoelaces. He also looks like he’s holding a hoodie in the first picture.
