Disabled Mugger Attacks Student, Speeds Off In Wheelchair

(Annanova) June 26, 2004- Police are searching for a mugger who attacked a student and then sped off in a wheelchair.

The Sun says the disabled thief grabbed the 22-year-old victim's takeaway Chinese meal on a Northampton street.

When the student protested, the mugger's accomplice punched him in the face.

The two muggers then sped off, leaving their victim bruised and bleeding.

Police said: "The offenders were laughing during their crime."

That must be one hell of a fast wheelchair for them to have "sped off."

Do banks now have to have handicapped parking spaces out front for getaway wheelchairs?

They could have shot out his wheels, at least...

Give the poor disabled guy a break.

It is obvious he hadn't received his 'Meals on Wheels' that day.

LOL..Damon Wayons was on Jay Leno last night and he was talking about how they were able to get away with things in the early days of Fox that you couldn't do right now. I think this was one of them!!! I remember watching it at the time and thinking OMG, how can they be allowed to do that! It was so damn funny!
