Now I'm well used to being approached in the street by junkies looking for money etc, but I could see in this guy's eyes that he meant business. He might even have been armed, but to my surprise, I didn't wait to find out. I have never been in a fight in my life but as this guy charged into me. something took over and I swung for him first. I managed to floor him with two punches (thanks to some Karate lessons I had years ago) and then I ran for it. But I'm home now, rattled, safe but pumped with adrenaline, starting to shake and feeling guilty! Is this normal? Has anybody else been through this?

WoollyRedHat wrote: » They charged at them? Now, maybe it's a cultural thing, but normally charging at someone can be seen as intimidating? Maybe the poor guy is just misunderstood, and he constantly gets floored by strangers all the time, when all he wanted to know is how much was the train ( Train guy )

Some people on here are genuinely laughable in their naievety, you should let an agressor strike first to be sure and have the moral high ground? Running away is not an option if the agressor is too close, you just present an easy back attack to them, it is of course the first option if possible.
robinph wrote: » That's just someone running at the OP, it's not an attack. Possibly the correct response in the situation but he was not attacked.

He would have waited until he was right in your face, then started demanding your money/phone/whatever. You clocked him before he could open his stupid mouth. I know the kind of cunt you're talking about, good for you, fuck him, he's put in his place.

That's exactly my point...I mean, why are people here defending the person that attacked me? And he DID attack me. I'm a big bloke, I just did what I had to do to neutralise him and get away...and yet there are people on this thread questioning me!

I don't know what he was looking for, but he came straight for me and there was absolute and total aggression in the way he was coming for me. He wasn't looking for a light for his cig, he was coming for me. I saw it in his face, his eyes, his body, everything, Have you ever been attacked, hondasam?
