Nice shot to the melon by a quick thinking officer.
A police officer received light injuries Tuesday after a man shouting “Aloha Snackbar” (modified to not trigger SF auto review) — “God is Great” in Arabic — attacked with a knife, but his rampage was short lived thanks to a quick-witted colleague.
The man, thought to be a 29-year-old Moroccan citizen, was arrested by officers after he was disabled during the confrontation at the land border between Spain and Morocco at Melilla. Now released security footage shows officers surrounding the man after he attacked one officer — leaving him with a cut hand.
The attacker has his sights set on officers as he approaches — but this distracts him from what is going on behind as one quick-thinking officer grabs a plastic road barrier and takes a long run-up. As the barrier connects with the back of the would-be terrorist’s head, he collapses to the floor and the other officers move in to make their arrest.
Either the video cut off early, or that guy didn't get beaten enough.

I don't normally say this but that was fun to watch!
Had to watch it three times. It just keeps getting better.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
