Victim arrested after defending himself

A NEWSAGENT who called police when a yob attacked his stall was astonished when HE was arrested and held for five hours.

Harendra Bhatt, 46, whacked the drunk thug on the shoulder with a baseball bat after refusing demands for money.

But when British Transport police arrived, he was told he could be charged with possession of an offensive weapon and common assault and was arrested.

This guy should have been given a medal rather than arrested. If more people acted like him there would be less scum in the world trying to hurt good people in the world.
