Splendid

Judo: 1 - Robber: 0

Germany -- A blind judo expert astounded a mugger by pinning him to the ground after he tried to steal his cigarettes, police said according to News.yahoo.com.

The 17-year-old assailant spotted the 33-year-old (identified only as Emil E.) at a train station in the southwestern town of Giessen and thought he would be easy prey, a police spokesman said.

But what the attacker did not know, was that his intended victim was a world-class blind judo wrestler.

The 17-year-old threatened the blind man, then punched him in the face, at which point the martial artist flipped him and held him down until police arrived.
