Gurkha ignores knife wound to trap his mugger for 15 minutes while blade was stuck in his arm

A former Gurkha soldier fought off a mugger in spite of having a 6in knife blade jammed into his arm – then managed to grab hold of his attacker for 15 minutes while he waited for the police to arrive. Shop owner Taitex Phlamachha had just been to a cashpoint with his wife when he was pushed up against a wall and told to ‘hand over the money’ or get stabbed. Mr Phlamachha, 38, from Maidstone, Kent, a Gurkha with Maidstone's 36 Engineers for 13 years, said: ‘I tried to warn him, “Don’t mess with Gurkhas. We’re trained to fight.” But he didn’t listen.’
