A jewellery store owner from Saltaire, West Yorkshire, UK, released cctv footage of the moment he turned the tables on 2 masked robbers brandishing a samurai sword and an axe.
John Bradley, 40, said he made public video of the incident from September last year in a bid to track down the bandits, who are yet to be identified.
The armed men burst into his jewelry shop in a bid to make off with the £200,000 worth of valuables it houses.
But the 40-year-old fought back. Pushing the robber with the sword and disarming him, Bradley falls through glass cabinets in the scuffle before chasing the pair out of the store, empty-handed, with their own weapon.
Mr Bradley, a married father of two, sustained a minor hand injury that required surgery, during the incident.
The owner released the footage after a man was acquitted in court last week, accused of driving the getaway car.

@rigoler012
he defended himself, that makes him a Terrorist (according to the American government, military and media defending yourself is terrorism)

They probably won't catch them but they may want them as witnesses in the assault case they will likely bring against the shop owner.
The self defense laws in the UK are totally fvcked up.

You can't defend yourself in the UK, how dare you? That is not politically correct, you're supposed to call the police and negotiate with the robbers until the cops arrive! The shop owner will be charged!!!

Does this perhaps point out that criminals will use whatever they can get their hands on to attempt a crime?

yup, and a lock only keeps an honest man honest. a criminal will find a way to get at what he wants. innocent brits should arm themselves because criminals nearly always are.
