SOURCE – The West Australian



PERTH – An SAS trooper collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped

stop a suspected shoplifter in east Perth.



The ‘Toys-R-Us’ Store Manager told ‘The West Australian’ that man was seen on

surveillance cameras last Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the store.



When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife

lacerations including a broken nose and jaw…



Injuries he apparently sustained when he tripped whilst trying to run after the stabbing.



One of the Troopers said, — “He was a clumsy
