At approximately 07:30 this morning a Table view resident exited his house to fetch his news paper, still dressed in his sleeping attire. He was then attacked by a male with a large knife, presumably a Panga. The resident then managed to block most of the blows from the blade, sustaining serious injuries to his head and hands. He then managed to wrestle his attacker to the ground and subdue the man before law enforcement arrived at the scene.
ER24 paramedics treated the man for multiple lacerations at the scene, before transporting him to hospital. It seems that on this Friday the 13th the big, bad man with the large knife did not win.
