Christopher Benjakul asked that the snatcher return the torch back to him.
After he passed on the flame to the next runner, many people came to him and surrounded him. One of them snatched the torch from his hands. "Please, please return it to me because I had been waiting for this occasion for a long time and wanted to keep the torch as a souvenir for this splendid moment," he said.
Chris was a former television star before he was hit by a car driven by a drunk driver in an accident while he was working as a rescue worker of a foundation, when he stopped to help a woman who had broken down on the side of the freeway.
He showed reporters an empty box without the torch inside.
