Nice one BigBike - you accidentally "disabled" him more than a punch in the face would have done.
If it makes them think twice about doing it again, then you've done the World a great service.
Was this local to you? If it is, just be a little more aware for a while - scrotes like that have a habit of trying to get even. You caught them by surprise and did the right thing though - wish this sort of thing happened more often.
How hard did you hit him? Likely to be very temporary but a very hard hit to the windpipe can be nasty. Big respect for worrying about the damage!
If he was pulling out a knife he deserved it, wouldnt waste your time thinking about it.
Agreed.
The trachea (windpipe) is quite flexible to allow you to swallow large pieces of food etc
...and the oesophagus is just a spare bit of pipe that serves no purpose 🙄
He pulled a knife, you defended yourself.
Or, to put it another way: if he hadn't pulled a knife on you, he wouldn't have got punched.
I'm saying it didn't happen. WCA is bored on his business trip and this is his entertainment
And what evidence do you have to suggest that? Maybe you live such a sheltered life nothing like this could happen to you?
BBB Glad your OK dude. 🙂
forgetting my facetious comment for a moment, good on you. If this makes your attacker think twice about attacking again, you have done a huge favour to everyone else who visits that town. Good citizen badge on its way...
...but if this is a load of cobblers I will be VERY DISAPPOINTED 😆
Hasn't WCA got previous for his stories?

I mist admit that did cross my mind too 😐
This is just another example of broken Britain - years of NuLiebour political correctness gone mad, giving the criminals and immigrants more rights than us law abiding native Bri......
Oh......
I once got on a train with about 30 skinheads all looking for a ruck. One of them farted and i thought it was a gunshot so i got in there first. I hit the biggest one i could find, who was incidentally holding an Uzi. He hit the ground and the force of the punch actually made all his mates hit the ground as well.
Not sure i would want to go through that one again.
I'm afraid I can't give 10/10 for anything that doesn't involve Bombers or piss-soaked shoes.
And what evidence do you have to suggest that? Maybe you live such a sheltered life nothing like this could happen to you?
None - just call it a hunch 🙂
I have been mugged, in Châtelet in Paris. I'd nipped out the pub to get some food. On my return the barman suggested not going looking for them as 'they've all got knives'. So we left it and had another beer, no worries.

With regard to the job H&S risks of "Mugging" as a career option, an old saying springs to mind: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime"...
For the future, y'all might want to note that a punch to the throat has two major advantages over a punch to the face -
1: There's no risk of damage to your hand
2: It requires much less force and disables the opponent instantly.
It is best to form the hand into a "Puma strike" rather than a fist.
That is to say, fold the fingers under the palm at the second joint, laying the thumb alongside, tightly.
Pip, pip! 😉
Thanks for the comments. In the cold light of day it doesn't seem that much, just shook me a bit at the time.
ourkidsam - I know I have form but my trolls normally attempt to be humourous and possibly contain cucumbers.

... and lubricant...
normally
Why the change of tack last night? 😉
Probably just an attack of nerves after seeing this woman chasing me with a cucumber!
😉
I totally understand your doubts, I freely admit to the occaisional troll thread.
If you come to the [url]www.BigBikeBash.co.uk[/url] I will show you the bridge I live under sometimes.
Cannot [i]believe[/i] I've managed to set you up for a plug!
Sorry but it had to be done 😉
I even fell for the plug and clicked the linky...shame it took me nowhere useful 🙁
This happened to my friend in Amsterdam, it's always "have you got a cigarette or somehting" and it escalates from there!
Sounds like you had a lucky escape..kinda badass too, way to look out for yourself!
I will try again, just for you : [url= http://www.BigBikeBash.co.uk ]Big Bike Bash[/url]
give me the GPS details, satellite payload ready.
You're pretty lucky to get away with it.
Those two muggings I had were odd, both the attackers were tiny, both stood there for what seemed ages just looking at me, both hadn't thought it through. Still makes you bunny nose at the time though.
The bloke with the chain went to swing for me and the chain wrapped round his wrist we then just stood in the subway for ages holding each others necks until someone turned up, then went our seperate ways.
I'll never know why the other bloke tried to mug me with a 2" pen knife and not something half decent?
Been attacked three other times and always come off worst, don't matter how big you are if they suprise you.
I have never been mugged.*
*Now expects to be mugged within 48hrs.
He asked if I had a light (for a cigarette) and I said no, I don't smoke. He said 'Then give me your wallet'
Forget about it BBB, he clearly got what he deserved. Bloody smokers. 😉

This is just another example of bro.....
I grew up in that Saaaarf London. I've been knifed 4 times during the course of aborted muggings and hit in the head with a lump of scaffolding the one time they actually got my stuff, 8 quid and a Swatch IIRC.
Bastards.
You should have given him a ciggy thereby slowly killing him...
Never been mugged and unlikely to happen here thank god. I have however been financially "mugged" a few times by banks, car dealers and similar but have learned my lesson.
Got screw-drivered once - that smarted. Nice scar on the left side of my chest - bit close to that beaty red squashy bloody pump thing.
Well done for standing up but you took risk OP.
Don't worry about the throat injury-he tried to mug you!
Owning bullys....
Not sure if this is a viral...

A mate of mine was quite into Shotokan Karate at one point. He told me about one of the high-ranking blokes at his club getting jumped.
This guy is a short arse, not much to look at, but very capable of handling himself (he worked as a bouncer in Glasgow, nuff said). Not someone you would mess with.
He was walking home one night, carrying shopping bags in both hands, when three lads walking the other way thought it would be amusing to punch him in the face while he was "defenceless".
Next thing: the three lads are all lying unconscious on the ground. 🙂
For a [i]coup de grâce[/i] he goes through their pockets finds all their keys, drops them down the nearest drain, then just picks up his shopping bags and carries on home.

Now that I like.
Read back your first post BBB. Its obvious you did the right thing.
I think a single punch was remarkably restrained, anyone getting close enough to pull a knife would have been hit many times and probably stamped on a few times for good measure....
The only attempted mugging I've been party to I kind of didn't realise, thought the guy was joking and wandered off. (student days very drunk in St Marys...)
thought the guy was joking and wandered off.
Wonder what that did to his ego lol.
ha nice one mate, classic case of getting in there first, hope / glad your ok, dont be told any differnt , the roll over and be shafted by anyone brigade will tell you diffent. dodgy yes, but well done.
TBH if you let the cops know, you'll probably get banged up and have to pay to wannabee muggers compensation...
LOL at karate story - I did Shotokan to brown belt and kickboxing to a decent National competition standard. Once in a blue moon it comes in very handy.
Beer and muggings! Twice it's happened to me! First one I held the guy up by his neck whilst he waved his bottle at me, don't know why I just couldn't hit him, 2nd time in small town in Tenerife, the wife and I jumped by 5 teenagers whilst extremely pissed! They shoved us both on the floor, when I realised what was going off and saw the better half on the deck I completely lost it! Had hold of two literally trying to beat them senseless, got a real good few shots in but only jackie chan can take 5 and I came out the loser. All for a handbag with 20 bensons in it!
Wont be his first good hiding? they know the risks.
I really think you should of asked him why he was trying to rob you and what had led him to pursue a life of crime, if you engaged in some thoughtful dialogue you could of changed his prospective on life.
Nah scrub that :wink:, you did the right thing it was a knee jerk reaction and the thug got what he deserved, he may think twice now.
Not to worry and well done as you did not use excessive force to defend yourself.
You should only be worried if you kicked his head in while he was on the floor and in the process smashed/cracked the mugger's skull resulting in blood coming out from his ears and nose ...
🙂
Shame he had mates. You could have placed one heel on his testicles and taken your other foot off the ground, all the time twisting your foot from side to side... 😈
you did exactly the right thing, I would have left the scumbag choking, but then I have little sympathy for people who use a weapon to steal from others. I'm a bit Old Testament about that.
Sounds fair.
Remember seeing a rather pissed mate getting followed by 5 guys as he bounced down an alleyway, heard a few words, so the rest of us legged it up for a fight, just to see the last of the scrotes receiving the final blow of a front row playing, 20 stone windmill. And he didn't even drop his kebab!
