This feels a lot like something I would do! Especially that caption. Whoops!

According to LadBible:

“Nathan Wood, 27, was outside a nightclub in Stellenbosch, South Africa, when two men followed him and a friend into an alleyway, with one of them wielding a knife.

“The main culprit tried to convince me it was in my best interest by brandishing a fairly large dagger and holding it to my throat,” Nathan said.

But the mugger’s plans didn’t go too smoothly and, with one swing, the would-be criminal was out for the count.

“I then convinced the mugger that it was not in his best interest by knocking him unconscious with a well-timed punch,” the accountant said.

“His friend then dashed off. I dragged him out of the street, snapped a selfie, took off his jacket and put it under his head, placed him in the recovery position and alerted security.”

At least Nathan was still in a good enough mood to worry for the man’s safety after knocking him out. What a nice guy. He said: “‘If I hadn’t knocked the guy out I believe I would have been either another crime statistic or another South African that ended up in a body-bag.”

This guy is my hero. It's not in your best interest to try to take things that don't belong to you, and certainly not from some people - who are usually pretty inconspicuous.
