Teenage girl fights back and beats up muggers

Three would-be muggers got more than they bargained for when their teenage target fought back and beat them up – and lectured them while she did it. The 17-year-old girl punched the male thug in the groin and let loose on the two females with him when they jumped on her. The incident happened in Darwin, Australia last week. The teenager, who did not want to be identified, said she panicked when the trio approached.

She said: “I was walking to my car alone and they were yelling out ‘give me your keys, give me your car, give me your bag! I hopped in the car in a panic and tried to lock the doors but it didn’t work. I got dragged out of the car and they hit me a few times. I kept thinking ‘you’re not taking my dad’s car - I’ve already damaged it once’.

“Then the guy tried hopping in the car and grabbed my handbag but the strap got caught on the gear stick. I just swung and hit him in the nuts and he hit the ground screaming.”

The teen said she then elbowed one of the girls in the face, giving her a bloody nose, and they ran away. Whilst fighting, she said: “What are you doing out here robbing people? You should be at school.” Good for her.
