A cyclist has been caught on CCTV swiping a singer’s phone from her hand in broad daylight.
Sula Miranda was taking a snap of her pal as she posed with a stretch limo when a young man came hurtling down the pavement.
After dangerously weaving through other pedestrians, he stretched his arm out towards Sula, 60, as he closed in on her.

The singer and TV presenter was caught off guard as the crook swiped her phone from her hand.
He then veered onto the tarmac and raced off down the road as Sula and her friends stood around looking exasperated.
The theft took place on Monday (2 Sep) morning in front of a TV station in São Paulo, Brazil.
It is believed the cyclist acted opportunistically when he spotted Sula taking a snap of fellow TV presenter Claudete Troiano.
The singer told local media: “I’m not the only one, I’m not the first, unfortunately, and we just have to live with it, right?
“There’s no security in the city at all. It’s really frustrating because we rely on our phones for work.”
The theft was reported to the police, as reported by Need To Know.
But Sula’s phone still hadn’t been recovered as of Wednesday (4 Sep) morning and the police had received no tip-offs.
The singer boasts 300,000 Instagram followers and her songs have millions of plays on YouTube.
Sula didn’t sustain any injuries but was left in shock by the ordeal.
She was also upset about losing countless contacts, photos, and videos.
She added: “That mobile phone had my life in it.”
