Details are sketchy, but this made me smile:

"Williams was jailed after he was treated and released at a hospital, police said. WSOC-TV reporter Mark Barber tweeted a photo of Williams being wheeled on a stretcher from the scene."

Complete article, link has a video interview with the instructor:

Suspect in attempted kidnapping chased woman into a Charlotte karate school. He ended up on a stretcher.

BY JOE MARUSAK Charlotte Observer 6 hrs ago

A suspect in an attempted kidnapping ended up in a stretcher after he chased a woman into a Charlotte karate school and tussled with an instructor, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

The 46-year-old suspect, August Channing Williams, was charged with assault on a female, attempted first-degree kidnapping, simple assault, resisting a public officer, injury to personal property and possession of drug paraphernalia, Mecklenburg County jail records show.

Williams is accused of trying to force the woman into his car at about 8:45 p.m. Thursday outside a karate school in the 2600 block of Statesville Avenue, police said in a news release Friday, without naming the school.

WBTV identified the school as Bushiken Karate Charlotte Dojo.

A karate instructor “intervened and was assaulted,” according to the CMPD release.

CMPD officers arrived, and Williams was arrested “after a brief struggle with the officers,” according to the CMPD release.

Williams was jailed after he was treated and released at a hospital, police said.

WSOC-TV reporter Mark Barber tweeted a photo of Williams being wheeled on a stretcher from the scene.

“It’s a great thing the people in there were able to help defend her, extremely lucky that it was a karate studio,” CMPD Captain J.D. Thomas told TV news crews, WSOC-TV reported.

A phone message left by the Observer at the martial arts school Friday night was not immediately returned.

Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

That's a Kyokushin school, one of the world's deadliest styles.
