G'day Trendsetters,
On a happy note! justice prevails:
PERTH - An SAS soldier collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in east Perth . The 'Toys-R-Us' Store Manager told 'The West Australian' that a man was seen on surveillance cameras last Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the store. When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran towards the door. Outside were four SAS soldiers collecting toys for the "Toys For Tots" program. Smith said the soldiers stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them in the back. Fortunately the cut did not appear to be severe. The suspect however was transported by ambulance to the Royal Perth Hospital with two broken arms a broken leg, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, and assorted lacerations including a broken nose and jaw ...Injuries he apparently sustained when he tripped whilst trying to run after the stabbing. One of the soldiers said, "He was a clumsy bastard."
Regards,
RLI
