Creep sting gets physical

A Surrey Creep Catchers sting again got physical after the group's founder was arrested recently over a similarly violent confrontation.

The latest incident happened Monday at Central City Shopping Centre in Surrey. Vigilantes accused a man of trying to meet a 13-year-old girl, pulling the target through the mall by the jacket and cornering him against a wall.

"This is a citizen's arrest," group leader Ryan LaForge tells the man in a video posted to Facebook. "You resist any more I'm going to knock you the f--- out."

Creep Catchers called RCMP to the mall, who briefly took the man into a cruiser. It's not known if he was arrested.

The man claims he wouldn't have gone through with the meet and would have "chickened out." He allegedly offered to expose himself in a text exchange.
