The two accused, Prince and Vishal, had snatched the gold chain of Baljit Kaur, near Ankhi Nagar last evening when she went to the local Sabzi mandi on Phagwara-Hoshiarpur road, they said.
The woman who was riding a scooter, ran into a stationary car while trying to resist their attempt and was injured, police said.
But undaunted, Baljit chased the duo on her two wheeler and raised alarm following which the public gathered there. With their help she caught the two accused and handed them over to police, they said.
Som Parkash said that she will be honoured for her bravery so that other girls get motivated.
