It was not bravery but desperation. He was already under attack by several opponents. When that happens, some people surrender and some people fight. He fought and had a good weapon with which to fight. But it was not bravery, it was automatic, like you jumping from the path of an oncoming car.
I too am glad they never got his knife, but at least he had the element of surprise. A lot of punks are cowards who attack in groups on single weak opponents. I am sure they were shocked and baffled to feel pain and see blood pouring out. I will bet it confused them and left them open to easy attack. “Hey, I’m bleeding! I’m cut! Where did that come from.”
Good for the “victim”. Glad to see he had the means to defend himself.
Exactly. This guy had the guts to fight back.
