A pair of "dirty" would-be robbers were no match for a Polish cyclist who used his bike to make a smooth citizen's arrest following a daylight bag snatching.

The handlebar footage was posted to YouTube showing the Good Samaritan's speedy and smooth takedown in Wrocław, Poland.

According to the cyclist, he heard a woman's screams for help while he was riding inside a tunnel.

"I decided to jump the lights to find out what was happening," he said.

Upon turning around the corner, a 17-year-old girl told him two female thieves stole her purse and "beat her" before fleeing through the city of Old Town.

The cyclist raced across a busy intersection, ran down the pair of brazen thieves, and knocked them to the ground.

He said the two thieves, aged 17 and 20, were "dirty and sloppy" and had many scars on their hands.

"I could smell that they were drunk," the cyclist said, adding the two women began threatening him.

"F*** off, if you touch me I'll bite you," they told the cyclist while trying to escape.

"I'll punch you in the face."
