A teenager who allegedly tried to steal a cat was caught and sat on by a 26-stone Good Samaritan.
Michael Russ could not stand the thought of someone else adopting the kitten from the Humane Society of Tucson, Arizona.
So he grabbed the cat and ran for cover, chased by workers at the animal sanctuary and witnesses.
Russ allegedly pulled brass knuckles from his pocket and slipped them over his fingers, during the chase, threatening pet adoption workers who tried to stop him.
He was "detained firmly in place" by a 365-pound man who sat on him.
Russ, of Tucson, was arrested on theft and assault charges and bailed, reports the Tucson Citizen.
