The woman who allegedly snatched a purse off an outdoor table of a downtown eatery -- before she was captured and held by bystanders in an incident caught on video -- is to face two charges, police say.

Police identified Mikayla Danielle Hull, 24, as the suspect held for the 1:20 p.m. Tuesday purse-snatching at Ottawa Avenue NW and Monroe Center. She is jailed and awaiting arraignment.

The video has generated high interest mostly because of a physical exchange between Hull and bystander Jonathan Damon. As Damon holds Hull down until police arrive, the woman can be seen biting his wrist and Damon, in response, punches her head.

Kent County prosecutors will make final decision on whether Damon did anything wrong. A police report will be forwarded to prosecutors for review.
