Karate midget

The Funniest Cop Stories Ever definitely sounds like a must read book :-)

Story:
"In what other profession will you find yourself chasing a midget in a tuxedo down a fire escape?"

The slightly politically incorrect question is that of former police officer Scott Baker, who with Tom Philbin has written "The Funniest Cop Stories Ever." A tale about the well-dressed little person is among them.

"Me and my partner, Nicky, get a call to go to a building on Church Street," chronicle the authors, telling the story from the perspective of the officer who related it to them.

A woman had been assaulted, the cops found. The possible perpetrator had been her boyfriend, a small man — 3 feet 10 inches, to be exact — who "knew karate," the woman explained. That's how he was able to kick in her door on his way inside. It was a violent entrance, but at some point, apparently, his intentions had been honorable.

"He was wearing a tuxedo and carrying a violin case," the woman said. "He was going to propose to me."

After the idea of marital bliss went bad, the man fled down a fire escape from the woman's fifth-floor apartment.
