PLAINFIELD, NJ (PIX11)— A woman hunt, as opposed to a manhunt, is underway in Central New Jersey, after some would-be good Samaritans got their man -- which was the problem.

It's part of the aftermath of a crime committed early Monday morning in Plainfield, a city of 50,000 which, even though its crime rate is declining, is still rated high in crime by City-Data.com. Yet even in a city whose police are busy, the crime that happened near the intersection of West Front Street and Plainfield Avenue around 12:30 A.M. has taken people by surprise.

A man was seen struggling with a woman during a theft. "They were yelling and everything," said a preteen eyewitness whose name is being withheld because of her age. "I saw them next to each other. I didn't know what was going on." She added, "I thought usually the man steals the woman's necklace."

The eyewitness made the same mistake that two good Samaritans, a man and a woman, made when they came upon the scene in the early morning hours. They stopped and seized the man who'd been tussling with the woman. Cops arrived minutes later, and it became quickly apparent to them that the man was the victim. The woman had ripped him off.

"I heard [him say] that she took his necklace and that it cost a lot of money, the eyewitness said. The female felony suspect also made off with $400 cash, while the good Samaritans held the man -- the victim -- and the female thief got away.
