Ah yes, the good old "just fell into my hand" excuse. Doesn't get any more convincing than this :-)
A certified nut-case was arrested after arguing with a security guard at a condominium in Ocean City, Pennsylvania around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to mdcoastdispatch.com
The man was banging on a window causing it to break. He then picked up a large shard of the broken glass and tried to stab the guard with it.
The security guard told police the attacker tried to climb through the hole in the glass. The man allegedly lunged at the security guard with the large piece of glass and threatened to kill him.
He had "the wildest look on his face" and he was certain he would have killed him if another man he was with hadn't interceded, the guard said.
When questioned about the incident, the man acknowledged a piece of glass might have fallen into his hand and he might have made a motion toward the guard with it.
Like I said, I doesn't get any "better" than this.

In shape
It is without a doubt of great help to be in shape -- both in a physical, as well as mental sense -- if you ever end up in a self-defense situation.
A case in point is this story about a 41-year-old woman from New York City. The intended victim was assaulted by a knife-wielding intruder in her basement apartment.
The woman says her furious, and successful, self-defense response, is due to the fact that she works out at the gym 7 days a week.
When she fought back, by screaming, pushing the intruder and then knocking him in the groin, the man went scurrying out.

Resourceful 'Batboy'
Arizona -- In January, abcnews.go.com reported about a 14-year-old boy who alone at home when a burglar broke into the house.
When Michael heard the intruder break into the Mesa home, he barely had time to hide in his room and call 911.
The teenager said how he could hear the person go into the room next door. Then the boy heard him scramble through his parents' room, opening all the doors. Finally, he heard heard him go through his own room. "He just broke in real quick," the teenager said.
The boy sat locked in his room giving information to a 911 dispatcher, hiding inside a closet and grabbing his baseball bat. When the criminal finally made it to the child's room and opened the closet door, the surprised intruder was met with a series of hits with the bat.
The man left the home, but was soon after caught by police.

No "clean" fight

Concrete evidence
UK -- A drug addict who was caught red-handed hurling a lump of concrete through his neighbour's lounge window needed hospital treatment after his outraged victim took the law into his own hands.
The 28-year-old man still suffers scars following the attempted break-in which backfired in Canford Heath, Poole, on August 28 last year.
The victim was in bed when he heard his door being knocked and the lounge window being rattled. After hearing a loud smash, he ran into the living room to find the window had been smashed and a large chunk of concrete on the floor.
The victim picked up the concrete and threw it back through the hole in the window, hitting the suspect, who ran off.
The suspect, who suffered a severe cut to his left cheek and a wound to his mouth, as well as cuts to his arm and chest, was arrested at his home later that night.
He claimed he had been subjected to a hammer attack and told police: "I wouldn't be so stupid to burgle homes near me."
But glass fragments from both properties were discovered in his jacket.

Creative restraint
Peabody, Massachusetts -- On Christmas Eve, George Medeiros, 61, and John, 57, stopped at their mum's home. She wasn't in, and the two brothers realised that something was wrong.
On entering her bedroom, they noticed a shadow and lifted up her bed to reveal a man on the ground.
The brothers fought the man, who police have revealed was a 46-year-old from Lynn, Massachusetts.
While John tried to restrain the intruder, George called the police. But with the suspect attempting to get away, John had no choice but to pull down the trousers and underwear of his opponent.
'I figured it would slow him down if he got up to run,' said George. It worked and the police arrived to arrest the man.
