Dim Crims: fencing instructor foils robbers

Franco Scaramuzza said he always tries to be aware of his surroundings, so when the crime unfolded right in front of him in Bellevue, Tennessee, Scaramuzza jumped out of his car, grabbed his fencing sword, and started charging toward the suspects. He had just finished practice, so he was already on guard with the full outfit
"I charged towards them, holding my épée up high, and, you know, yelling at them," he said. "I kept yelling throughout the entire thing. They completely panicked and dropped everything they stole and really took off."
Police showed up and caught the suspects within minutes. Michael Butt and Zachary Johnson are charged with robbery. More here   [BJS]
