Mugger meets match in blind judo champ

A surprise was in store for a teenaged mugger who tried to steal a carton of cigarettes from a blind man in a German railway station: the victim was the former world champion in blind judo.

Police said Monday the youth, 17, vainly demanded the pack, then punched the ex-champion in the face.

The judoka threw the youth on the ground and pinned him down till police, called by a passer-by, reached Marburg Station.

#4  The only thing missing for this to be a real gem of a story is the blind judoman sticking his thumb up the mugger's butthole, à la Steve Irwin in south Park.

#3  Was the mugger's name Mohammed? It would have to be - to be that stupid.

#2  Good thing this didn't happen in the UK. That nasty blind judoka would have been thrown in jail for daring to defend himself and hurting that poor teenager.
