A German exchange student studying medicine in Sydney, Australia was taking the late-night train home, when three local thugs demanded his wallet. They followed him off the train, pounced on him in a dark alley, took his phone and iPod, and kicked him while he was down — until ninjas came to the rescue:
Nathan Smith told his sensei and the rest of the students at Ninja Senshi Ryu and they rushed out to confront the thugs — all dressed in traditional black ninja garb.
On seeing the ninjas, the men fled, only to be later arrested by police.
“You should have seen their faces when they saw us in ninja gear coming towards them,” the school’s sensei, Kaylan Soto, told the Herald.
One of the thugs was heard to say, “Not again!”
