SASKATOON -- A Saskatoon man says when he heard his female neighbour being attacked, he grabbed his baseball bat and headed next door.

Jean-Pierre Veilleux was getting himself and his kids ready for the day when he heard a loud noise Friday morning and ran to his neighbour's place and saw a man.

"I hit him with my baseball bat just to kind of subdue him and then we kind of had words back and forth, I hit him a couple more times and pretty much chased him out of the house," Veilleux said.

He chased the man down the back alley and hit him again before pinning him to the ground.

I love this part....

"He was just begging 'please don't hit me' and I said 'take out your cellphone and call the cops right now buddy. You're going to jail,'" said Veilleux, who held the man until police arrived.

Sonny James - A Little Bit South Of Saskatoon

Just a little bit south of Saskatoon
Pick my guitar for board and room
Met a little girl, her name was June
A little bit south of Saskatoon

Me and Junny-Mae we got on fine
Till I had to move further down the line
Promised that girl I’d be back soon
A little bit south of Saskatoon

Went up to Nome to see the sights
Had a yen to watch the northern lights
But I had my mind on my sweet June
A little bit south of Saskatoon

So I caught a freight and headed back
Following down that railroad track
Kept a thinkin’ of my honeymoon
A little bit south of Saskatoon

Me and Junny-Mae got a little house
Got a piece of ground and a few milk cows
We’re gonna get a youngin’ soon
A little bit south of Saskatoon

In the winter time when we can’t farm
Me and Junny-Mae sit arm in arm
By a big ole fire and honeymoon
A little bit south of Saskatoon

There is a quite delicious berry called Saskatoons. In the US they are called June berries. Similar to a blue berry, smaller.

Wonder if he had passed a background check required for all semi-automatic and automatic baseball bats?
