Kung-Fu vs Intruder

Barbados -- When a machete-wielding intruder entered a holiday apartment, armed with a machete, 13-year-old Redmond Lee helped protecting his family by putting his kung-fu training to good use, according to kentnews.co.uk.

The Maidstone, UK family, had only spent their first morning at the St Lawrence Gap hotel, in Barbados, when the masked man burst in on April 9 this year. Millina, the 11-year-old daughter was sitting on the luxury apartment balcony when the armed intruder climbed over a wall and onto the balcony.

The girl ran screaming into the apartment with the man at her heels. Her mum, making coffee, screamed and threw a cup at him, but the intruder continued. When the man attacked 13-year-old Redmond the boy managed to grab him and somehow put him in an arm lock.

His dad, in the bathroom at that point, heard the commotion and ran out to find the culprit holding the bladed weapon above his son's head. The angered and frightened father ran at him and wrestled him to the ground. He was able to throw him back out on to the balcony. The man then ran off.
