The clip shows the brave man spotting the suspected shoplifter brazenly getting out of the clutches of security outside a Walmart store.
He charges towards the man and slams into his trolley, which was filled with items he allegedly did not pay for.
A fight breaks out when the cyclist confronts the alleged shoplifter and says: "If you did pay for it, just pick it up b****."
The other man then starts to slowly walk away, with his expression seemingly showing guilt.
The video vigilante then shouts: "Did you pay for it? If you did not steal, pick it up, pick it the f*** up b****.
"Get out of where you piece of s***."
The suspected shoplifter then walks away from the scene.
A similar incident occurred in 2023 when another video vigilante intervened after seeing a suspected shoplifter leave Walmart with a shopping cart loaded with groceries.
Anthony Wood's brave intervention and viral video helped police identify the suspect, who repeatedly denied stealing the items.
The incident occurred in a Walmart parking lot near Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2014.

Smith told ABC News that he saw the man looking around before bolting out the store with a cart stacked full of grocery products and paper towels.
As soon as Smith realized the person might be stealing the items, he took out his phone and began recording.
The fearless vigilante even began shouting at the man as he loaded the items into his car.
It comes after a woman was accused of pulling off a wild ticket-switching stunt at Walmart.
She walked out with hundreds of dollars in goods until surveillance video caught up with her.
The woman racked up 19 visits using the same sneaky trick, cops said.
The alleged scheme went down in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, roughly 80 miles from Milwaukee.
Hailey Wildfong, 38, is now charged with one count of felony retail theft, Seehafer News reported.
In another case earlier this year, a man named Speedy Gonzalez was arrested in Georgia for ripping off Walmart stores with a trash can trick.
The 40-year-old allegedly stuffed pricey products into empty bins, scanned the bins, and walked out with the loot.
Gonzalez reportedly stole items like nicotine, diabetic strips, and gum, all while avoiding staff detection.
Authorities say Gonzalez pulled the scam off at least 20 times across stores in Georgia.

Trump vows to evict homeless from Washington, official says National Guard may be deployed

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to evict homeless people from the nation's capital and jail criminals, despite Washington's mayor arguing there is no current spike in crime. While details of the plan were unclear, the administration is preparing to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, a U.S. official told Reuters, a controversial tactic Trump used recently in Los Angeles to tackle immigration protests over the objections of local officials. Trump has not made a final decision, the official said, adding that the number of troops and their role are still being determined. Unlike in California and every other state, where the governor typically decides when to activate Guard troops, the president directly controls the National Guard in Washington, D.C. Past instances of the Guard's deployment in the city include in response to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong." The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city. Trump plans to hold a press conference on Monday to "stop violent crime in Washington, D.C." It was not clear whether he would announce more details of his eviction plan then. There are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness on any given night in the city of about 700,000, says the Community Partnership, an organization working to reduce homelessness in D.C. Most such individuals are in emergency shelters or transitional housing, rather than on the street, it says. A White House official said on Friday more federal law enforcement officers were being deployed in the city following a violent attack on a young administration staffer that angered the president. Alleged crimes investigated by federal agents on Friday night included "multiple persons carrying a pistol without license," motorists driving on suspended licenses and dirt bike riding, a White House official said on Sunday. The official said 450 federal law enforcement officers were deployed across the city on Saturday. The city's police department says violent crime was down 26% in D.C. in the first seven months of 2025, compared with last year, while overall crime was down about 7%. The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was "not experiencing a crime spike." "It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser said on MSNBC's the Weekend. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low." Bowser said Trump was "very aware" of the city's work with federal law enforcement after meeting him several weeks ago in the Oval Office. The U.S. Congress has control of D.C.'s budget after the district was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council. For Trump to take over the city, it is likely that Congress would have to pass a law revoking the law that established local elected leadership.

Trump news at a glance: Epstein case haunts administration even as Vance blames Democrats for mishandling

Vice-president JD Vance's attempt to deflect attention away from the Trump administration's handling of the case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has backfired, triggering renewed calls for transparency. In an interview with Fox News broadcast on Sunday, Vance tried to brush off criticism of the administration's refusal to release documents related to the scandal, accusing Joe Biden of doing 'absolutely nothing' about it when he was in the White House. Within minutes of the Fox News interview being broadcast, social media began to hum with renewed cries of 'release the files!' The White House has been caught in a bind over the Epstein affair, which spawned conspiracy theories among many of Donald Trump's supporters which now senior figures in the administration had actively encouraged during the 2024 campaign. Here are the key US politics stories at a glance: Four days after JD Vance reportedly asked top Trump administration officials to come up with a new communications strategy for dealing with the scandal around the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, the vice-president appears to have put his foot in it, sparking a new round of online outrage even as he tried to defuse the furor.

What Ghislaine told US officials about the REAL links between Clinton and Epstein - and why she now thinks it could secure her release: by TOM LEONARD

Of all the weird decorations – from a stuffed black poodle to a framed collection of fake eyeballs – that Jeffrey Epstein acquired for his New York mansion, possibly no item invited quite so many questions as a painting of President Clinton sprawled suggestively on an Oval Office chair, wearing a blue dress and heels. It wasn't as immediately disturbing as the first-edition copy of Lolita – Vladimir Nabokov's notorious 1955 novel in which a man develops a sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl – which Epstein kept displayed in his office. Or the paintings of naked women, and large silver ball and chain he kept in the massage room where he allegedly raped local schoolgirls.
