" I just started kicking his a.......... subduing him"
"I handcuffed him..... and gave him a couple shots..........don't tell anyone"

Good story, and our hero seems to be a bit of a comedian too.

Good Job on that Plumbers part. I don't know if "Most" would do the same thing but I think that a lot would. Lucky for the Constable he was there at the right time.

I didn't realize Macgyver became a Plumber! LOL.

That there fellow is a credit to humanity! Good for him.

I wonder what set off the psycho attacker, if he just saw the opprotunity to attack the officer and felt he was at an advantage due to her being little (5'1" by rescuer Blair's account)? Either way the attacker deserves the chair; too bad we don't have one. Odd they didn't name the attacker in any of the articles.

Cudos to him for sure...

This is a prime example of why I don't want to be a cop. They could not pay me enough to do that and take those kind of risks. I have friends who are cops...they have families just like the rest of us.
