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.

Well played.

You did nothing wrong.

Be sure and do something nice for yourself during the day and have a great weekend - hope the hand gets better quickly.

1/ change your work route and general clothing etc for the next month or so -
it may be on the look out for you with its buddys .


2/ DO NOT tell the guards - you will likely face charges.


3/ If you are fit , next time just run off while roaring 'catch me if you can, motherf*ckeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr '

4/ personally you should have stamped on his nuts for good measure - but hey thats just me.

5/ well done , and I would buy you a pint if i knew you .

OP, please change your username to "Childpuncher".

If its English class you're in, you really should pay attention more.

This definitely needs to be reported as an aggravated mugging attempt so the Guards have your record of it when skobie's family come looking for the wonga.com. In your statement leave out the 'punch' and say you did push past him. Itll be your word against feral boy, and from your statement you sound like an upstanding citizen.

You must have fairly clocked him to have a painful hand, but don't worry, when the pain in your knuckles has faded the satisfaction in your heart will live on

OP are you sure it wasnt this dude??

You must be joking.
How are the Gardai going to find him ?

On the TV They get the CSI in to dust down the scene etc.

In real life the Gardai go to Centra and buy a cheese roll and an actimel, then go out and catch people for speeding.

Brilliant

Hmmm what are the chances he won't come back with his scumbag friends?? Take it handy for the next few weeks, not trying to freak you out or anything just don't walk on your own, stick to crowds etc.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Thank everyone for your support.

Actually did vomit after. Decided to get a taxi home & am just up after a doze. Felt exhausted.

Have decided not to report it as I don't believe in chasing trouble. Had told boss & a couple of co workers after I got sick so at least I have backup.

Will be getting the train to the next station & walking back for a while.

Can't stop eating. Think the adrenaline ran off a while ago & blood sugar is down.

Was it a big knife op?

Not particularly, apart from the fact it was pointy & sharp looking, I couldn't tell you anything more about it. Didn't really concentrate, it was a totally spontaneous reaction.

It's just the adrenaline dump. Most people get it. Well according to Henno from Ultimate Force anyway

this thread just made my day.

Well done OP. Well done.

Well done op, the little sh.tbag deserved what he got, young or old if you pull a knife on someone you deserves a fist in he face at least. It might teach the little fecker a lesson..

In the words of the legendary Face Kicker:

"You should have kicked the guy in the face when he fell. "

OP did you pick up the knife?

Even Bruce Banner feels a little down after he Hulks out. May I suggest you invest in a pair of stretchy trousers?

Hope you feel better dude, awful thing to have happen to anyone! Fair play to you man, these little scrotes need to be thought a lesson! So what if he was 12, he probably would have stabbed you had you not sucker punched him!
Cheered my friday up knowing that little sh*t got a taste of his own medicine!!

Congrats. Lols aside, you may have taught that child a life-altering lesson. I would take the advice to change the route to work.

Another poster says not to contact Gardai. Not sure what course of action to take. What do others here think?

Grew up on the North Strand myself, and had to face this crap from locals who didn't know I was a local, because I kept to myself and I actually *wanted* to go to school... Had a couple of fairly similar incidents in my time!

Fair play, you acted defensively and did the right thing. In an ideal world you woud'nt have had to punch anyone, but you did the best with what you were given. I know you won't feel like it, but don't feel bad. Had it gone his way, he wouldn't have.
