I am looking for examples of cases where MEN have successfully
resisted crimes such as assault or kidnapping. I am particularly
interested in examples where the person doing the resisting is NOT
armed before hand. In other words, I am not looking for someone who
was carrying a gun and attacked, as much as someone who was attacked
and able to grab something and turn it into a weapon. Example: John
Smith, 42, of New York City, was slightly injured after he wrestled
with a man trying to steal his car. I need these examples ASAP.Great job. These examples are perfect and I am particularly happy with
the pro and con piece on fighting back. Thanks -- I frequently need
research in connection with my work and I will definitely use this
service again.I have found plenty of examples of women being attacked and fighting
off their attackers, but I specifically need men. It doesn't matter
how old the incidents are, but I do need men. Four to five examples
would be enough.The father of a friend of mine was targeted by two muggers who figured
that a white-haired grandfather in his seventies would be a pushover.
Well, they picked the wrong guy because he was an ex-boxer who still
knew how land a telling punch.
He knocked them both out.From recent news reports, it seems to be largely the WOMEN doing the
fighting back (though there's one example of a man as well).
Are these the types of stories you're after? Any geographic
preferences? And does it really have to be MEN...?
Let me know.

"I saw the cop on the ground, and he ended up with the knife in him.
He was stabbed," Cesky said. The officer died instantly. The second
officer, a female, ran to the attacker and tried to subdue him with
her nightstick. As the larger assailant fought back, Cesky sprinted
forward and body-checked him to the pavement. "I went in and threw him
on the ground," Cesky said. "He got back up and had a plastic tube in
his hand, pointing it at her face. He stepped closer to me and it
looked like he wanted to commit suicide, he was jabbing the tube at
his own head."
?Officers later told Cesky that the tube was another homemade
explosive, and that it apparently had enough dynamite in it to
possibly level the train station. "When he punched himself with the
tube a second time, I jumped on him from behind again and threw him on
the ground," Cesky said. "I sat on him, held him down and I pushed the
tube away from his hands. The cop came over and we put the handcuffs
on him."
