My husband is a hero :)

So proud of my husband he is a local hero...he came out of the dentist n saw 3 guys attacking a young lad and knocking him unconscious.....MY HUSBAND pinned 2 of em to the ground while ringing the police and ambulance with his spare hand n he managed to hold em there till the police arrived. Another man managed to get the 3rd attacker too. The lad only looked about 17 and had blood pouring from his ear where they kicked him in the head. On one hand it was a crazy thing to do getting involved but he didn't stop to think (he is 6ft and solid and very strong so was the natural thing to do for him). The police said he is a hero and they probably wouldn't have caught the lads had it have not been for him as people don't tend to give evidence in these cases for fear of repercussions. So proud of him :)

    I love this story, your husband really is a hero. So many people wouldn't have got involved and you are right to be proud

    It's amazing he managed to hold two of them down with one hand while phoning the police!

    However, he's two extra things

    1. very brave
    2. very daft as it has been known for people stepping in to get stabbed for their trouble

    Still, you have every right to be proud of him for not standing by and letting it happen.

    Get some beers in and let him have the remote this evening
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Yes I know thats what i said, what if they'd have stabbed you but he didnt really stop to think he jusy dived in. He is lucky as he is a very big guy (21 stone) and solid so he got them down easily n then basically he had his weight on them pinning them down with his knees n 1 hand, don't think they dared move they were in so much shock lol, as soon as the operator heard he had them detained police arrived within about a minute thank goodness. He has done this before about 7 years ago when he caught someone burgling our house, he held them down till police arrived, I am proud of him but does make me worried too in case he'd have got hurt, i'd rather have him here than be a proud widow

    If they are gang members tell your hubby to keep his situational awareness high. He has already seen what those lowlifes are capable of.
