Chef Chases Down iPhone Thief for Customer

Talk about good service.

A Lincoln Park restaurant owner and chef chased down a man police say stole a cell phone from a diner and used his martial arts training to keep him put until police arrived.

Jason Chan, a former bouncer and now co-owner of Juno at 2638 N Lincoln, spotted a man he thought looked suspicious. After a customer said his phone was missing, Chan chased the man outside and to another nearby restaurant. When the man got physical, Chan used his martial arts training to subdue him until police arrived, WGN reports in the video above.

The man was later identified as Justin Ballog, 37, according to the Huffington Post. He has been charged with theft.

The customer thanked Chan with a nice bottle of Scotch.

Chan was in the news earlier this year when friends rallied to help him while he battled throat cancer that resulted in the loss of his taste buds and salivary glands.
