Haisam Rida has made quite a name for himself in the BJJ community, and not just because of his competition successes…
But also because of his recent, viral altercation with a wannabe thief.
The suspect tried to rob Rida’s car while the athlete was in the gym.
Rida then chased after him and, well, handled the situation.
He revealed what happened in a recent B-Team video:
I was just taking a nap inside the office, and I think I might have left the car door unlocked, you know.
My mistake.I footswept him [the thief]; he fell to the ground, but kept trying to move, trying to escape.
So, I Rear Naked Choked him from behind.
When the police officers came to the scene, the thief appeared to pretend that he was seriously hurt.
But according to Haisam Rida, the officers weren’t fooled:
The cops just told me: “Good job”, for holding him down, and that I had every right to [protect my property].
Whatever I would have done to him, I would have had full rights, but I didn’t.
I just held him down, and handed him over to the cops.
