Toronto police have arrested a man after Toronto restaurateur Arron Barberian fought off a would-be thief in broad daylight in front of his downtown steakhouse.
'I whipped him to the ground a couple of times.'- Arron Barberian
The attack happened as Barberian, 50, was taking a cash box from one of his two Elm Street restaurants at about 10:20 a.m. ET on Monday.
A man approached from behind and grabbed the box. But Barberian hung on, and fought back.
"He pushed me, you know I pushed back. He grabbed the money and then I whipped him to the ground a couple of times," Barberian told CBC News.

This Arron Barberian guy has a fitting last name. I would say he has the Berserker gene in him.
Arron Barberian, Toronto restaurateur, fights off mugger, gets no tip.
there fixed it.
They should change his name to Conan.
Darned Amish! Someone needs to stand up to this lawless bunch...
I liked this comment on the article:

I didn’t know Candians were allowed to defend themselves?
Does the United Nations know about this?

Too funny.
The "guy" who appears for several minutes poised to jump in at the first opportunity and help him subdue the thief - but never quite makes it - ought to be thoroughly ashamed of himself.
Has a daughter named Hannah?
That would be Dave the Barbarian I would guess that Fang and Candy were not around to help him. :)
Interesting comments. Not American. : )
Isn’t fang a monkey?
He seemed almost within arms length for the duration of the event but just couldn’t pull the trigger, and the situation could have turned nasty for his boss.
Had to click on your link to see who Dave is, you must have a lot of fun watching that with your children.
The girls were a great excuse to watch stuff. :)
Good. Nice to see someone fighting back and refusing to be a victim.
Of course, the policeman comes on and say you shouldn’t fight back. Dumb!
