BBC Reporter attack - what the Judge said

[Stephen_G]

BBC Reporter Paresh Patel was on his way to do a report when he was followed and attacked by two drunken idiots. However, one of them got more than he bargained for as Mr. Patel is a Black Belt in Karate. Mr. Patel also shows incredible restraint in not rising to the challenge until he finally snaps, but, it's the comment of the Judge on passing sentence that made me smile.....

It just shows how stupid the two drunken idiots are that they continued to harrass a man who has a cameraman with him.lol
I don't think I would have been as restrained as Mr.Patel.

Excellent, sprawled on his *** in the gutter where he belongs. Good job Mr Patel.

[Daisho]

Ok, sprawled on his bum then.

A similar incident happened to a friend of mine. A group of hoodies confronted him in town. They asked him for money or they would "cut him".....as soon as those words left his mouth my mate punched him in the face. The hoodie crumpled into a blooded heap. The rest ran off.

Yes, I think this was raised last week

Looking at the video Mr. Patel was quite fortunate that the police arrived when they did as it looked as if it was going to degenerate into a bit of a scuffle! He hit him twice and he was still getting grief - I think Mr. Patel needs to spend a little more time in the dojo!

Incidently can somebody please tell the telegraph that mixing karate with "kung fu style" manages to irritate both sets of martial artists.

Oh well at least they didn't say "karate player"

I'm with jake, surprised he need 2 punches, back to the dojo, with you Mr Patel, Any always a pleasure when the pond life scum get a slapping!
