Last week, on the streets of New York City, a couple of construction workers were allegedly sucker punched. Ro Malabanan said he witnessed those attacks and decided to do something about it.
Malabanan, a BJJ black belt under Marcelo Garcia, posted footage of what went down to his Instagram. The video shows him pinning a man down on the ground until a number of police officers arrive on the scene to take the individual into custody.
Malabanan can also be heard talking with the suspect. The suspect told his captor that the construction had provoked him, saying “they were walking into me”.
