A passerby on his way to work — who just happens to be a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt — chased down an assault suspect after seeing him sucker-punch a construction worker in SoHo and take off running.
It was a case of wrong place at the wrong time for an assault suspect accused of punching two people, including a teenager, seemingly at random on a Manhattan street.
That's because a passerby — who just happens be a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt — chased him down and helped bring him to justice. Ro Malabanan was heading to work Wednesday when he saw the suspect sucker-punch a construction worker in SoHo before running away. In an exclusive interview with NBC New York, Malabanan said he was worried the suspect would attack someone else — so he decided to intervene.
"I walked up to the guy that hit, to check to see if he was OK. He said he wasn’t okay ... Immediately, my martial arts side kicks in and I'm like let’s go stop this guy," Malabanan recalled."Who knows what he’s capable of... My jiu-jitsu training kicked in, and I immediately just jumped on his back, he tried to fling me off of him. I had what's called the seatbelt position, which helped me to drag him down to the ground.
