A 74-year-old jeweler in Hollywood, FL, used Krav Maga, an Israeli martial arts style, to fight off a would-be robber.
Daniel Stetton, owner of DHS Oakwood Jewelers, said the man had bought a gold chain months ago, the Sun-Sentinel reports. Stetton offered to fix it, but the man wanted a replacement.
Stetton refused, and the man went behind the counter to grab a new chain himself.
Stetton confronted him, employing some of the Krav Maga he learned while serving in the Israeli Army decades ago.
The incident was captured on surveillance video.
He said he had no choice but to protect his business.
“I didn’t expect I would have to use it one day,” the Sun-Sentinel quoted him saying. “But, what are you going to do?”
Stetton’s wife joined the fray, swinging a yardstick at the culprit.
The man, looking dazed, grabbed his broken chain and left the store.
Police are looking for the suspect.
