Kung fu taxi driver

Two would-be thieves in Wuhan, Hubei Province got shocked after they tried to stun a taxi driver with electric paddles and rob him at knife point on October 27.

The driver, Shi Zhigang, 33, was initially jolted on the back of his head with the high voltage paddles after driving the pair to a farm area as they had instructed. One pointed a knife at the stunned cabbie and demanded his fare money, but Shi – who is also a trained martial artist – pulled a nunchuck from beneath his seat and drove them from the cab, beating them back into a nearby ditch.

He then called police who arrived to arrest the pair who were "trembling in the ditch's foul water."
