Brazilian police arrested a teenager who rode a horse into a busy Rio de Janeiro district with a toy gun, and forced a man to give up his cell phone.

Police tell Reuters the 15-year-old confessed to having borrowed the horse from a neighbor and committing the crime after being promised $20 for a phone with a camera attached.

He rode into the courtyard of a hospital in Rio's Meier neighborhood and nabbed the camera from a man waiting in line. When police eventually caught up to him, he was on foot and the horse was gone.
