Cortes saw the suspect pinning the woman down with his hands her around her neck demanding money and gave chase.

He pursued the suspect down the street, eventually getting him on the ground and holding him there until police arrived.

"I feel like a real life superhero, but I just did what anyone else would have done," he said afterward.
