    Heading into work, headphones on, head down. A kid about 10 or 12 stepped in front of me @ said something. Took off the headphones & he pulled a knife out & said "gimme yet f**ken' money & phone or F**ken' I'll stick ya".

    I've never hit anyone before, don't know where it came from but I just lashed out, punched him straight in the face & he ended up on his back. I legged it & am sitting here, feeling like I'm gonna puke with a very sore hand & legs like jelly.

    Self defence, perfectly justified. Maybe he'll change his ways. I think i'd have done the same.

    Don't feel bad in the slightest. You did the correct thing. A knife is a weapon in anyone's hand be it a fully grown adult or a child. Have a cup of tea with a few spoons of sugar in it and you'll be grand.

    You did what you needed to protect yourself!

    On a serious note: keep warm & have some sugary tea and a bite to eat. Sounds like you are in shock!

    What you actually did was maybe teach a potential career criminal the error of his ways. Well done.

    Knowing how some scumbag families work - I would report this to the Garda ASAP

    The little scrot will probably report you for attacking him / gbh

    So get your report in first. Any witnesses or CCTV in the area?

    I once kicked a sleeping dog.
    Is this a confession thread?

    Nice work OP.

    If a few more of them were on the receiving end at a young age like that they might rethink their ways.

    Natural feeling that....

    Alternative was to be nursing a stab wound with no phone or money.

    Don't feel guilt anyone who threatens you in that way deserves a good slap!
