Cab Driver Foils Robber by Zapping Him Below The Belt

29th August 2008

A woman cab driver responded to a knife with a stun gun Friday morning, shocking a man in the genitals after he tried to rob her, police said.

The foiled robbery attempt occurred at 1:16 a.m. after the 23-year-old cab driver picked up a fare near North Lumina Drive in Wrightsville Beach, according to a statement from Lucy Crockett, spokeswoman for the Wilmington Police Department.

The man got in the front passenger seat and asked to be driven to an address in the 6300 block of Wrightsville Ave.

As the driver neared the intersection of Wrightsville and Military Cutoff, the suspect drew a knife and ordered the driver to pull over. That’s when she reached for a stun gun she had in the driver’s side door and jabbed it in his crotch.

The man jumped out and ran away, with no money. The suspect is a white man in his 20s who was wearing a brown T-shirt, khaki shorts and a light-colored cap.

'We should take a lesson from this lady; a stun gun and the training required should be part of getting one's driver license.'

I suppose being the USA the robber was lucky it was only a zappa not a real gun with real bullets.

I wonder if the robber will have the balls to do it again.
