Good for him, good for him. Hubby once stopped a mugging in the subway, the mugger had a knife and all, but hubby’s a big guy and basically did the same thing: Just stop it, run away now!
Hubby also did once escape a knife attack on the train (hey, this was NYC pre-Rudy, never underestimate what that man did) because the would-be attacker had to get off at his stop (I swear this is a true NY story!).
Hubby’s sister chided him for not running after the guy, but Hubby wisely said: A crazy man failed to stab me, and you think I should have run after him and given him another chance?
Whew! Glad that worked out O.K.!
