Man uses pizza box to defend himself from a knife-wielding teen

Came across this story in the local news today. Scary stabbing spree on a public train, where one bystander used a pizza box to defend himself and escaped almost unscathed. Ever used a common, everyday object to defend yourself in a real situation?

nice ^_^

 

I used a stinky sock against my brother does that count? :wow:

Seriously I never go anywhere without my tactical pen.

 

this must be the first instance of a pizza saving your life (instead of shortening it)

 

14 and 15!? Somebody needs a spanking! And not the good kind! Good grief.

 

I took my own mechanical pencil back away from someone threatening my eye with it once, if that counts.

On a more related note, when I was a pizza delivery driver in college I made sure I counted return change in advance and always had one hand on the pizza box and the other inside my satchel for condiments/CCW pistol before I rang the bell or knocked.

That pizza was gonna make it in 30 minutes or less every single time, by God.

 

Does anyone know for sure what style the pizza was?
