This bizarre story comes out of Florida, which isn't surprising since 88 percent of stories involving sword attacks occur in Florida. Anthony Brisbane was working the graveyard shift at Captain Steamers when a masked robber wielding a tire iron came into the kitchen. Naturally, Brisbane grabbed a sword and they began sparring. You're probably thinking, "This isn't Grand Theft Auto where you can just summon random melee weapons whenever you want. Why does a Florida restaurant called Captain Steamers have a sword, and why was it so accessible?" But then, is it really that shocking?
Brisbane called the cops after he thought he had subdued the attacker, and when his guard was down the burglar hit him three times in the head with a tire iron. So Brisbane grabbed a nearby beer bottle (makes more sense) and cracked him over the head with it. Score one for the good guys.
We're always amazed by the "guy fends off burglar" stories, mainly because we are trembling cowards who would gladly provide the robber with those old-timey money sacks and even offer to help carry them to the getaway car. So bravo, Anthony Brisbane. You are Today's Badass.
