Jewelers Fight Off Sword-Wielding Robber, Grabbing Him by the Balls



In a story out of Scotland (yes, the home of William Wallace), a sword-wielding robber (who may have watched too much Braveheart), a man named Daniel Hussain got out of prison and within a month decided to pull off a glorious heist.  Hussain entered RM Jewelers and met Robert MacLaughlin.  
Not actual sword

Hussain was armed with an actual sword and demanded jewels.  McLaughlin and his wife, who were present, refused.  Hussain “repeatedly demanded jewelry, but the owner refused and the two men tussled over the shop counter. Mrs. MacLaughlin hit the store’s panic-button and Hussain tried to flee, but not before MacLaughlin literally got him by the balls.

Hussain managed to escape out of the store and into a taxi (likely without the sword – the article doesn’t say. He was picked up later and recently tried in court.  He’s back in jail, with sore balls, and likely a very sore ego.
