Two would-be robbers in Gatineau, Quebec experienced a major victim selection failure last Tuesday. They walked into Zhen Yang's convenience store, pointed knives at him and demanded money.
Yang fought back. First, he sprayed them with bear repellent. One took off running while he grappled with the other. Yang spanked the intruder's bare bottom while his wife kicked the thief in the head:
Soon after his wife, Bi Liang, and a customer came in and helped him subdue the suspect until police arrived. [...]
Interrogating the first suspect led to the arrest of the second, and both men are being charged with robbery, wearing a disguise and possession of a concealed weapon.

You are welcome.
The rest of the smackdown seems to be about par for trying to hold onto the kid. The so-called "spanking" wasn't much more than him punching the kid to try and subdue him. Maybe a little unnecessary, but that's how people react.
