PERTH - An SAS trooper collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in east Perth.
The 'Toys-R-Us' Store Manager Jack Smith told 'The West Australian' that man was seen on surveillance cameras last Friday stuffing a laptop under his jacket at the store.
When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled out a knife and ran toward the door. Straight into four SAS Troopers who were outside collecting toys for the "Toys For Tots" program.
Smith said the Troopers managed to restrain the man, but in the struggle he stabbed one of them, in the back - which upon later inspection by a paramedic turned out not to be too severe.
The suspect was then transported by ambulance to the Royal Perth Hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions and assorted lacerations including a broken nose and jaw... Injuries he apparently sustained when he tripped whilst trying to run after the stabbing.
When questioned by the police regarding the state of his injuries, the spokesman for the Troopers commented, "He was just a clumsy b*****d."
