Loved this story from the UK......
Gurkha ignores knife wound to trap his mugger for 15 minutes while blade was stuck in his arm....... Anyone with any knowledge of military history knows the golden rule – don’t mess with a Gurkha.But the knife-wielding mugger in this drama clearly had no idea what he was messing with. He pushed Taitex Phlamachha, a former member of the famous fighting force, up against a wall and demanded money..........In the fight that ensued, a knife
blade was buried in Mr Phlamachha’s arm, but he still managed to get the
better of his attacker.....The
38-year-old shop owner was taking an evening walk with his wife Asha
when they stopped to look in the window of a health shop in Maidstone,
Kent. Suddenly he was hurled against a wall and allegedly told to ‘hand
over the money’, or be stabbed....The pair fell to the ground where the mugger knelt on Mr Phlamachha’s chest and tried to stab him. Mr Phlamachha blocked the attacks and at the same time even managed to throw his mobile phone to his wife so she could dial 999......He threw the attacker off then disabled
him with a kick before holding on to his clothes with one arm to stop
him escaping for a full 15 minutes.
Awesome!
For those who don't know, "
Gurkha" is an umbrella term used to describe a number of Nepalese tribes whose fighting prowess so impressed British colonial forces in India in the 19th Century, that the peace treaty between the two opposing forces included the deal that Gurkhas would be contracted to serve in the British army. Over the next few decades the Gurkha regiments were used to great effect in most of Britain's wars, and whose reputation as fierce uncompromising fighters earned them the respect of militaries around the world.
Naturally,
racist Britain treated these troops
, who have served the crown with distinction, as second class citizens and awards them lower pensions than their British counterparts. Although partially resolved, Britain still tries to dick some Gurkhas around over their right to stay in the UK.
Anyways, this particular guy didn't get the memo that insists Asian men are weak and wimpy. LOL!
