JustGav Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 This is one way to deal with a hijacker... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/article2717803.ece Gun-toting thug knocked out by passer-by Onlooker stops carjacking by flooring suspected 'Rugrat' Thursday, June 28, 2007 By Claire McNeilly This is the shocking moment when a gun-wielding thug was knocked out by a passer-by as he attempted to hijack a car in west Belfast. The drama was broadcast on website YouTube after erupting on the Falls Road last week. The carjacking was stopped only when an angry onlooker intervened and punched the would-be car thief to the ground. In the video, a man can be clearly seen running to the rescue of the thug. He too was knocked to the ground. Eye-witnesses claimed that there were two women and two children under eight years old in one of the vehicles the man attempted to hijack. Residents in the area said the man had been running amok with the weapon for more than half an hour before they intervened. It is not clear whether the gun is real or a replica. Earlier reports said that the gun had been handed in to the police. However, a PSNI spokesperson said last night that a weapon had not been recovered. "Enquiries are still ongoing," she said. "Police received a report on Tuesday, June 19, of a male person in the Falls Road area with what appeared to be a gun." People in the local community have alleged that the hijacker is part of a teenage Ballymurphy gang named the Rugrats. The gang is said to be behind a number of criminal incidents in the area, including bombings, assaults and burglaries. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0845 600 8000, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKtLcSEGY6Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymark Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Areas like the Falls Road in Belfast are pretty self-policing - it does have its downfalls, but at times like this, it DOES work. Pity we weren't a bit more willing to not let these little teenage tossers make us jump through hoops. I see them on every street corner - whack, have some of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
