'No one had a baton - so we headbutted him': Passenger reveals how fellow commuter bravely stepped in to stop man 'threatening to stab people' on packed train
2019-10-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Del Scott-Lewis, in his 40s, struck bearded man on c2c service between West Ham and Barking

  • Commuters cheered and praised him for protecting passengers in East London

  • Bearded man was allegedly harassing others and was restrained until Upminster

  • He started saying 'I'll kill you, I'm from Afghanistan, I'll kill you, I'll stab you'.

  • Police then arrested him on suspicion of carrying a knife and a theft offence
The video at the link is well worth watching to see a sheepdog in action.

#13  That wasn't his first rodeo headbutt. All but the Afghan judge score a 10.

#12  I've seen referees disqualify a boxer for less. Still in all a good outcome.

#2  I never knew about head butts until I started meeting people from England. It's good to see the Brits fighting back.

#1  The extensible baton is a great weapon. Can inflict devastating injuries quickly and no pesky ballistics or serial numbers
