BERLIN (Reuters) -- A 20-year-old would-be thief went from predator to victim when he tried to mug a taxi driver but ended up having his own wallet snatched, and arrested.

After the man stole the driver's wallet, a scuffle broke out in which the cabbies recovered his property but also took his attacker's wallet, police said yesterday.

The driver then locked himself in his taxi and called police, who found the mugger waiting for them near the taxi. "He wanted his wallet back," a police spokesman said.
