SAS Trooper Stabbed

It's BS, like 99% of these things that are circulated around the Internet. Why the op couldn't spend 10 seconds doing a search for it to find this out before posting, I don't know.

It originates from a real incident, but it happened in America and it was marines, not SAS soldiers. And the marines detained the thief along with other people, but no one harmed him.

Can't be true, SAS aren't allowed to reveal their identity for security reasons. Unless it's different in Oz.

Why ruin it :(, it was an awesome story before it wasn't true.
 
True story here from a few years back

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA –

A tour group of U.S. senior citizens killed a Costa Rican mugger by breaking his neck after he pulled a gun, a local police official said Thursday.

The cruise ship passengers told police they jumped on Wagner Segura, 20, to defend themselves when he pointed a .38-caliber revolver at them Wednesday near the Caribbean port of Limon, regional police director Luis Hernandez said.

One of the dozen tourists, a retired Marine about 70 years old, reportedly put Segura in a headlock.

“He was probably the one who broke [Segura's] neck,” Hernandez said. “His neck was completely snapped.”

The cause of death was not clear. A statement from Carnival Cruise Lines said the assailant had apparently died of asphyxiation, and some reports identified the broken bone as the clavicle, not the neck.

No charges will be filed against the tourists because police viewed the incident as an act of self-defense.

The charitable Americans drove the wounded mugger to Red Cross:

The two other men fled when the 12 senior citizens started defending themselves during the Wednesday attack. Afterward, the tourists drove Segura to the Red Cross where he was declared dead. The Red Cross also treated one of the tourists for an anxiety attack, Hernandez said Thursday.
