I'm in Ireland at the minute. I was out with my mates tonight and was walking home from the bar about an hour ago by myself. I walked past this guy who was wearing no top (bare chested) who said to me:
"Here mate, where could I get a bottle of wine (Buckfast) now?"
"I've no idea mate, I'm just out of the bar now and everywhere is shut"
"Go get me a bottle of wine will you?"
"Sorry I can't help you, it's 3 in the morning and everywhere is shut"
"Look, come with me to get a bottle of wine, and give me the money for it".
At this point I gave out a hesitant laugh and said "Good luck" as I walked on. He followed after me and pulled a knife on me:
"Give me the money now or I'll stick this ******* knife in your throat."
"Whoah calm down, I just want to go home, I've no money here"
"GIVE ME THE ******* MONEY NOW OR I'LL SLIT YOUR ******* THROAT"
"Look all I've got is 4 quid, take it, that's all I've got"
At this point he lunged at me with the knife. I managed to grab it by the blade with my hand (it's a bit cut up). I took the knife off him and lunged back. When he backed off I threw the knife as hard as I could to the other side of the road. He then tried to punch me. For those of you that have met me you'll know I'm quite stocky and well built. His punch connected with my shoulder and I fought back with all my strength. I hit him with every ounce of power I had. I connected with his head and face a few time and managed to punch him in the ear twice. When he fell to the ground stunned I ran home as fast as I could. I didn't look back, I just ran.
So here I am absolutely knackered after running over a mile. I recognise the guy who tried to stab me, he's well known to the local paramilitaries for drug dealing and whatnot and has even had 'the kneecaps' a few years ago but it doesn't seem to have stopped him. I'm furious that he was going to stab me in the chest, probably killing me, for the sake of £4 in change. I'm furious
Oh well, as the saying goes, **** happens. I'm just glad that I was in the position to fight back otherwise I might be lying in a bodybag right now. I dred to think what might have happened
