On the arrival of the police, $300 worth of coins and two flavored water were recovered the man was subsequently charged.

Since the incident, several social media users have reacted to the news.

“An example should be made of him to go into a court to steal that is really low and shows he has no respect for authority,” said one social media user.

“How him alone so brave,” said another user.

“This is a clear case of the man had a case at court and when leaving found himself hungry and without fare to go home not right but some mercy can be handed down,” suggested one man on Twitter.
