Blind Man Walks in on Intruder, Kicks His Ass

Then drags him to the kitchen and holds him at knifepoint until police arrive.

"I opened the door and just ran into him. I had him pinned in the laundry room and just kept pummeling," said [Allan] Kieta, a former wrestler in high school.

He said he grabbed the intruder by the belt and dragged him into the kitchen, where he put a knife at the man's throat and tried to dial 911.

"Being visually impaired, I couldn't get the buttons because I was using my left hand," he said. "It took me about 20 tries."

Police arrived within minutes and arrested Alvaro Castro, 25, on an initial charge of residential entry, Sgt. Matthew Mount said.

Castro claimed he was a former boyfriend of Keita's daughter and he was just there looking for his cat. Which is a) easily proven or disproven, and b) still stupid, even if true.

And no cat is worth getting your ass kicked over.
