Mormon bishop scares off mugger in Utah

A Mormon bishop fought off his neighbour’s attacker with a Samurai sword after his son saw the woman being mugged outside her home in Millcreek, Utah.

Kurt Hendrix, 47, who is also a martial arts instructor, confronted 37-year-old Grant Eggertson with the weapon, which he keeps next to his bed. The suspect had allegedly demanded his victim’s house keys and was attempting to force his way into her home when her screams alerted neighbours early on Tuesday morning.
