Monk saves citizen from armed robber.

On Tuesday 17th a South London shop-keeper was saved during an armed robbery. The rescuer was a monk named monk Bocheng liang who is Chinese and worked at the JamYang Buddhist Centre in south London and is a brown belt in jujitsu.
“He looked like a normal teenager, and was wearing a suit, he then walked up to the till and took out a gun, it was at that point that the monk ran into the shop and disarmed the robber and kept him in an armlock. I honestly thought I was gonna die!” Said Mohammed Choudhury the corner shop-keeper. It happened at about 3:30 this afternoon and there was no one in the shop at the the time the robbery occurred. The 17 year old robber Charlie Crofts brought nothing to the till and asked the shop-keeper for something from behind the till. “When I turned around he held out the gun and pushed it to my head. He then told me to empty all the money in the till into the bag he was holding.”said the shopkeeper. The monk Bocheng liang is Chinese and worked at the JamYang Buddhist Centre in south London and was a brown belt in jujitsu. “I saw the man and I reacted on my instinct these people rely on fear, and that is what I tried to channel out.”said the monk.
“I froze as soon as I felt the gun on my head and if the monk did not show up when he did I don’t think I would still be here now.”
The court case is set for march the 16th.
