FOUR knife-wielding robbers ran out of luck while trying to rob a martial arts master of his gold chain in Kepong.
With help from one of his students, 33-year-old Wong Yaw Min overcame the robbers with his bare hands.
One of the robbers was severely injured during the fight, reported China Press.
The incident happened on Tuesday, right after Wong had finished having breakfast with his student.
Four men on two motorcycles, who were armed with knives, approached him.
One of them tried to grab his gold chain.
Wong fought off the attackers and when his student saw the scuffle, he jumped to his master's aid.
One of the attackers managed to escape unhurt while two others were knocked off their motorcycles before fleeing on foot.
Policemen, who arrived later, took the injured robber to the hospital.
> The daily also reported that a woman, who worked as a confinement nanny, was sentenced to two months in jail for offering sex service to a senior officer from the Bukit Aman Anti-Secret Societies, Gaming and Anti-Vice (D7) Division.
The 31-year-old woman was said to have committed the crime in front of a hotel at Jalan Raja Laut on Sunday night.
> Meanwhile, a man cut the tendons on his wife's leg and hands after she refused to have sex with him.
Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported that the incident happened on the morning of Chap Goh Meh in Shenzen, China.
The couple had spent the festive holiday at the home of the husband's younger brother.
On the day of the incident, after the brother's family had gone out for breakfast, the man, identified only as Zhou, demanded sex from his wife.
However, she refused, claiming that she was menstruating. He then tried to force himself on her.
In a fit of rage, he rushed to the kitchen, came back with a knife, pinned his wife to the bed and cut the tendons on her hands and legs.
The man then called his brother, who alerted the police.
He was arrested the next day.
