A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt recently subdued an alleged home intruder during a break-in in Sydney (Australia).
The incident took place on Monday evening in Canada Bay, leading to the arrest of a 37-year-old man charged with aggravated break and enter.
Brian D., a 36-year-old resident, shared what happened in a conversation with news.com.au.
He was at home when he heard “banging and screaming” outside.
Curious and concerned, he opened his front door and was met by a distressed woman pleading for help:
She basically said she needed help, and some man had broken into her house and I kind of just put pants on and ran outside.
Brian noticed a broken fence and a damaged side door, evidence of the alleged forced entry.
Initially, he couldn’t locate the intruder but quickly realized the man was armed with a piece of wood embedded with nails.
When Brian encountered the alleged intruder, the man reportedly threw the weapon at him and fled into another room:
My adrenaline was pumping at the time, said a few bad things, grabbed hold of him and got him into a position where I could immobilise him.
At the time, I just wanted to stop him, I didn’t want him to hurt anyone.
