Robber Brought Down By Teenage Girl

(AP) - An unusual turn of events yesterday evening has placed a would-be robber in the hospital and his intended teenage victim in court.

Alexander Goldberg, 37, was charged with two counts of attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon for trying to mug a young woman at knife-point on Centre Street yesterday evening. Little did he know that his eighteen-year-old victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, had acquired a first-degree black belt in Karate.

"It was crazy." says Goldberg. "I just remember waking up and everything hurting."

Goldberg turned into the emergency room of a local hospital last night with an abdominal stab wound, a broken nose, a mild concussion, and a hairline fracture in his left arm.

Charlie Oak, Goldberg's legal representative, has pressed aggravated assault charges against the young woman, suing for the total of his client's medical bills and compensation for pain and suffering.

There has been no response from the victim regarding these charges.

When asked to comment on her retaliation, she replied, "I was having...a bad day."
