I'm curious.Thanks Raoul, you're probably right haha.I hit him in the face. He fell to the ground unconscious, I called the police to report an attempted murder and he went to prison. Police found it unusual I wore stab proof protection but all I had to say was I was concerned with the rise in knife crime (there were huge TV campaigns on at the time about it) and living in an affluent area I felt I was an easy target so took precautions. :)Second attempt was just after picking up some cash off one of my main guys and I was walking back to my car which was about 200m from the location. En route the guy came from behind and tried to jab me in the back of the shoulder with a blade between 5 and 7 inches, looked like a cheap knife but still pretty sharp and would easily dig into your shoulder without protection. It just hit the armour and sunk a little bit, never really touched me but felt the force of it and stumbled forward, the guy let go of the knife (intentionally or not I don't know, maybe it got jabbed because it was really rammed in) and I decided to break my fall by landing on his legs at an odd angle as he went down. Stopped the fucker running alright. At which point the 2 security guys and 1 guy delivery the cash to me seen what happened, ran over and dragged him away, for which they told me they just put him in the car, dropped him off at a hospital after taking a photo of his ID so if he said anything to police/medical staff he'd be screwed. Never had any police attention on the matter so I assume he made up something like he fell or whatnot.So lessons are get good armour, keep your wits about you, don't carry product - ever and if you think somebody is following you, get in a public place as I made the bad mistake of going back through quiet residential streets when there was a main road 20m away with police patrols every few minutes and a lot of CCTV. First occasion I was searched by the police and obviously holding the dude to the floor I couldn't make off to ditch something if I had any product on me, so it was lucky I had nothing on me at the time other than maybe 300-400 carry cash, a few bank cards, ID etc. Nothing out of the usual other than covert body armour which I had a good excuse for.
