Three men who were robbing a medical student in Sydney fled in panic when five members of a nearby martial arts school rushed to the rescue dressed in full ninja gear.
The trio attacked the 27-year-old German after he got off a train, New South Wales state police said.
As the assault was under way, a student coming out of class at the Ninja Senshi Ryu school saw what was happening and called on his teacher and three other students for help.

Can you imagine the look on the robber's faces when they saw a group of Ninjas comming over to them. That's a story for the grandchildren one day; "I remember when I was a young man and was being robbed but was saved by Ninjas in England." Doubt they'll believe him though.

Though, one the message board below it, I saw someone said something about this being a vigilante act and thus possibly being wrong. In this case was a vigilante act a good thing or a bad thing, even though the answer seems obvious.

Um, England? Isn't it Australia.

Another source, your link is broken.

Interesting really. A pack of ninjas rescuing you from three muggers is something to be remembered.

I found the article on msn.uk and my mind went to England, I must have overlooked the New and just say south Wales. Still, an interesting news story.

I gotta admit that is pretty awesome...it kinda sucks that they couldn't beat up the muggers though

That's hilarious. Ninjutsu is pretty popular though. It's not as surprising as it may seem.

Anyways, sheer luck the one guy was standing outside where he was, or the med student would've gotten pretty hurt. Sad the muggers didn't get a broken face or two.

Right? When you think about it ninjutsu is in essence martial arts...the rest of us just don't wear black body suits.

Ninjas are pretty cool, I guess. Good thing they were in the right place at the right time!
