Taitex Phlamachha, 38, was with his wife when he was attacked after withdrawing money from a cash machine in Maidstone on 7 October.
He managed to overcome his attacker and hold on until police arrived.
The black belt in karate and taekwondo only realised he had been stabbed when police used a metal detector on him….”The knife was coming towards my chest. I just blocked that knife with my right hand but unfortunately couldn’t manage to save my left arm,” he recalled.
“I saw the knife was broken somewhere but didn’t realise it was inside my arm.
“Then I noticed he [the attacker] was holding the handle of the knife which I took control of and threw away.”
He also managed to throw his mobile phone to his wife Asha so she could call 999.
But in the UK, you can’t carry a knife! BTW did you notice that the lawful Gurkha elected to leave his beloved kukri behind, but the Brit Criminal had a knife on him. Also from looks of the picture it was a cheap kitchen knife. This is anti-rights paradise.
Still:
“I am really lucky to survive,” he said.
I’m more thinking to the dumbshit who attempted to mug a Gurkha is lucky to be alive. Even unarmed them tiny dudes are made of 100% killing!
Gurkhas don’t need to carry their kukri’s with them. Gurkhas are weapons!
This story proves the point. Still had this Gurkha had whatever tools he wanted, this story would have ended with a dead mugger, and an unhurt Gurkha, which is preferable.
And frankly, had the Gurkha wanted to kill the mugger with his bare hands, he probably could’ve done that as well.
