When I was 12 a lad 4 years older tried to rob me . He demanded with threats for me to empty my pockets . I looked at my mate and mouthed grab my money. I threw my money on the floor . As the lad bent down eyes fixed on my money ,I booted him as hard as I could in the face.he went sprawling,my mate grabbed my money and we legged it. 3 weeks later I was with friends going to a rugby match when this psycho caught up with me . He grabbed me and held me by my ankles over a railway bridge threatening to kill me . No sooner as he put me down I punched him as hard as I could in the face . He chased after me and kicked my ankles , I went flying into the side of a moving car . All this happened in front of the police ,they grabbed the lad and asked if I wanted to press charges or make a complaint. I told them to keep hold of him until the match was over. Although our paths crossed several times after this incident he never said boo.
