Biker hero stops axe-wielding maniac

[Bob]

When Leroy Sleeper, 48 was riding his motorbike in San Miguel, California, little did he realise that he would be faced with an axe-wielding maniac in his path. As he rode along, he spotted a man standing in the middle of the road, who took out an axe and started swinging it at Sleeper.

Faced with few options, Sleeper realised that if he swerved, he would probably be struck by the axe – so he took the only other option and chose to plough straight into the madman, Aldrich Ross Peck, also 48, sending him into a ditch. Despite being thrown from the bike, Sleeper then leapt to his feet and disarmed Peck.

Sleeper then generously called an ambulance for Peck, but declined to be taken to hospital himself. As soon as Peck, currently in hospital with injuries to his pelvis and head, is released. police will arrest him on a count of assault with a deadly weapon.

I think he (the axe guy) had head injuries before this incident!

and if it was NZ he would be getting charged with dangerous driving and assault and have to pay reparation to the "victim" of his driving

It's nice to know that the justice will be served...

If that happened in NZ the police will be laying charges against the biker for dangerous use of a motorvehicle.

[edit] - damn it it seems jimjim beat me to it by a few seconds....

[paturoa]

You generally hit what you focus on and I think he would be "focused" on that bugger, I know I would be!

Have to agree with jimjim and bobsmith about what would happen here though. There are some running this place!

Haha funny, I just read my girlfriend the article and the first thing she said:

"What are the bastards charging the biker with?"

me:

"nothing that I know of, that's why we're going to the states hon"
