...tried to steal his Rolex

A retired wrestler pinned a mugger to the ground who tried to steal his Rolex in the middle of a busy West Hollywood street.

The altercation happened Wednesday at 1pm in the 900 block of North Sweetzer Avenue, just minutes from West Hollywood City Hall, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The former athlete, who opted to stay anonymous, described the incident to NBC4: 'A small black sedan pulled up, a guy jumped out with a gun, came at me and attacked me.'

But what the mugger did not know was that his attempted victim had a fighting background, which he promptly put to good use.

The man said: 'I was able to disarm and take the gun from him.

'I had him pinned down, he was trying to get up.'

The attempted robbery could have been fatal.

The retired wrestler said: 'The gun was loaded when they pulled the chamber back. One popped out of the chamber, so it was ready to go.'

His girlfriend rushed in to help after he was disarmed.

She said: 'When the gun was wrestled to the ground, I'm the one that went and grabbed it and picked it up and threw it over the apartment fence.'

The LA County Sheriff's Department office in West Hollywood told the Daily Mail that the attempted mugger was in custody.

However, the getaway driver escaped.

Patrick McCloskey was working from home when the scrap happened.

He suddenly heard screams and walked out to an 'intense' scene, without a clue of what was going on.

McCloskey told KTLA: 'The chaos was so intense, I didn't know who jumped who.

'I ran to the door to see what was happening. At that point, I hear [the girlfriend] yell, "Get the gun, get the gun!"'

Footage during the attempted robbery captured McCloskey standing outside of his house calling for help on the phone.

He was heard saying: 'Someone's got a gun, someone pulled it on someone, someone tried to tackle a nice lady. It's happening in front of my house.'

McCloskey recalled how the tables turned on the mugger.

He said: 'He didn't know that the guy was a retired wrestler, so he was able to get the gun off the guy and wrestle him down.

'He held him down and he showed no mercy. I think, at one point, the guy's arm got dislocated and they just held him down.' (The Money Quote)

The LA County Sheriff's Department office in West Hollywood told the Daily Mail that it did not know whether any charges would be filed, as the attempted robber's case was due in court Friday.

Back when we had the Rodney King riots young black guys were draggging motorists from their cars to beat them up, there were videos of that happening.

So the Road Warriors Hawk and Animal are going to the LA Auditorium, they stop at the light, here comes .........................

Is Sherdog gonna say the wrestler guy was stupid to wear a Rolex in West Hollywood, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten robbed?

But he didn't get robbed, because dude (and his chick) handled themselves like sherdoggers and filled the room with TDs

If you can hold your own...
 
I'm not a flashy guy because I have situational awareness. Wearing a rolex is asking for trouble because crews in L.A county specifically target expensive watches. This story could have easily ended with him and his GF killed if the robbers weren't so incompetent. If you want to be flashy with opulent things then a CCW is mandatory get that before you even buy your rolex or sports car. I'm not even going to fancy restaurants here without "dat thang" on me.

At least his girlfriend helped by throwing a loaded & cocked gun over a fence into some apartments

I’m guessing. Just a guess based on descriptions that it was a Glock. You can’t cock a Glock bc it doesn’t have a hammer. And throwing a striker fired gun won’t make jt fo off. There are safeties in place. Even a hammer fired won’t go off unless it was an old wheel gun.
