MAFS Star Turns Hero: Citizen’s Arrest on Machete-Wielding Teen Shocks City
In a dramatic turn of events that left onlookers stunned, a former Married at First Sight Australia star has become an unexpected city hero after performing a citizen’s arrest on a teenage boy spotted running through a busy street wielding a machete.
The shocking incident unfolded late Wednesday afternoon in the heart, where witnesses reported chaos as pedestrians scattered in fear after spotting the armed teen sprinting through traffic and footpaths.
What no one saw coming was the swift intervention by Tomothy Smith, known for their reality TV fame and fiery on-screen presence. But yesterday, it wasn’t reality drama they were faced with a real-life threat.
“I just reacted,” the MAFS alum told reporters. “People were screaming, and he was weaving through cars with a massive blade. I couldn’t stand by and watch someone get hurt.”
Surveillance footage shows the teen tripping near a traffic light before he tackled him to the ground, wrestling the machete from his grip with the help of another passerby until police arrived minutes later.
The police have since confirmed that the teen, aged 16, was arrested and is facing several charges, including carrying a dangerous weapon and disturbing the peace. Thankfully, no one was injured during the ordeal.
Social media quickly erupted with praise for the star’s brave move, dubbing them “the reality hero we didn’t know we needed.”
Fans flooded their Instagram with comments like, “Forget the show you’re a real one!” and “From married drama to machete heroics, talk about range!”
Authorities have urged the public not to intervene in dangerous situations, but acknowledged the MAFS star’s quick actions helped prevent what could have been a far more dangerous outcome.
From finding love on screen to confronting real-life danger, it’s clear this Married at First Sight alum has more courage than anyone expected.
