A KNIFE-WIELDING attacker was tackled by brave members of the public, who apprehended him when he attempted to speed off from the scene of a fight in Cardiff on a getaway bicycle.
Dramatic footage shows the desperate criminal attempting to escape after a fight broke outside a hotel in the Welsh capital.
But a brave member of the public tackled him off of his bike as he attempted to flee police during a chase through the city centre.
The video footage, captured on Saturday (15 April) by a bystander, shows suspect Muaz Tarafdar, 20, being smashed into the ground as he attempted to speed off.
In the video, the man cycles towards a set of traffic lights before a man in a blue hooded jumper tackles him to the ground.
However, the bumbling assailant attempted to get up off the ground, before ANOTHER bystander, who was crossing the road, grounds him once again.
Tarafdar was found with a large knife in his backpack after he was arrested at the scene, reports Wales Online.
The details of the altercation, or the exact location of the fight, have not been disclosed. Express.co.uk has contacted South Wales police for comment.
Following the incident, Tarafdar of No Fixed Abode, was jailed for six months on Monday, after admitting to possessing a dangerous weapon.
Representing him in court, Nia James told how Tarafdar had a "£10 a day crack cocaine habit" and had "significant difficulty with cannabis".
Upon sentencing, Judge Bodfan Jenkins told Tarafdar:“You had in your possession a particularly, if not highly, dangerous weapon in very dangerous circumstances."
Continuing, the judge said: “In the circumstances of the case this clearly crosses the custody threshold. There can be no reason for suspending the sentence.
“getaway bicycle.”
Now that’s a phrase you don’t see every day.
‘kin ‘ell! That’s the dog’s bollocks.
You got to love the 'English' way with words.
“Muaz”? I’m surprised. That’s an Arabic name. Who would have guessed that a Muslim, a follower of the religion of peace, would commit a terrorist act?
Only thing they forgot to do was bash him to death. Oh well....
Why did I already know what he would generally look it?
He's fixed it now.
“Following the incident, Tarafdar of No Fixed Abode, was jailed for six months on Monday, after admitting to possessing a dangerous weapon.”
His captors received 5 years.

“How about the last knock-down tackle?
That fellow has played a bit of soccer. Took the legs right out from under the perp.”
Probably more like the NZ blacks style rugby.
The article doesn’t tell us how much time the “brave members of the public” got.
He and his brothers and sisters are probably aunts, uncles, fathers and mothers to each other.
Let's see if they were even Brits. Theres a recent video of an "acid attacker" getting the s**t beat out of him by outraged locals. Turns out the men who beat him up were Polish immigrants. They hadn't gotten the message that they're just supposed to take it on the chin.

They've blurred out the attacker's Middle Eastern face.
