BERLIN (Reuters) - A blind judo expert astounded a mugger by pinning him to the ground after he tried to steal his cigarettes, police said on Monday.

The assailant, a 17-year-old man of Asian origin, spotted the 33-year-old, who police identified only as Emil E., at a train station in the southwestern town of Giessen and thought he would be easy prey, police spokesman Rolf Wellershausen said.

But what the attacker did not know, the spokesman said, was that his victim was a world-class blind judo wrestler.

The 17-year-old threatened the blind man, then punched him in the face, at which point the martial artist flipped him and held him down until police arrived.

"So what're you in for?"
"Tried to mug a blind dude."
"That must have been easy. What'd you get?"
"Let's not talk about it..."

Most(many?) legally blind people can at least see shadows and shapes and such...

I'd tell that guy he did an awesome job if he could hear me. Poor guy, going through your whole life not being able to hear.
