Watch
the shocking moment an adult man attacked a teenager after a playground
altercation.
A 14-year-old boy used his martial arts skills to defend himself against a man who attacked him at a skatepark in the UK.
Connor Jackson’s 12-year-old brother was involved in an argument with another boy at the park.
The boy’s parents were caught on camera hurling abuse at Connor’s brother after the incident.
At one point the dad encourages his son to “knock him out”.
Connor’s brother remains calm, and is heard politely answering the angry dad’s questions.
Seemingly unimpressed with the boy’s lack of emotion, the dad then turns his anger towards Connor who is watching the incident nearby.
“You're his brother are you? How old are you?” he is heard asking the youth before trying to punch him in the face.
But the man is unaware that Connor has four years of martial arts experience.
The teen uses his Jiu-Jitsu knowledge to defend himself.
Connor’s father Nathan Jackson praised his actions, saying he was just defending himself and his brother.
“His little brother is in the wrong and he deserved to be told off but I’d never have spoken to him the way that they did, swearing at him and threatening to bang him and knock him out and he’s on about getting his son to beat him up. I’ve always said to Connor, if ever you’re on the streets and something happens you’ll have to be careful in what you’re doing because you can hurt somebody - you need to keep control of things,” told the DailyMail.
