Stumbled across this while surfing.....just two years shy of 90.

"Five robbers armed with knife attack young woman, then 88-year-old former commando arrives"

"An 88-year-old former commando tackled five robbers, one of whom was armed with a knife, as they tried to grab a woman's handbag, forcing them to flee empty handed....."

“I tried to disarm him and in the process I got stab wounds here, there and everywhere. There was a lot of blood. He wasn’t trained and it was more of a pocket knife. Luckily my wounds were shallow..."

"He added: 'Fear is not in my dictionary'”.

Brave man, it's always pleasing to read such stories and I hope those thieves got the shock of their lives.

Commando units are well trained in unarmed combat and indeed how to kill, with the Royal Marines carrying on the British Commando tradition. The US Commando Units is the Army Rangers.
