This badass dad fought off armed robbers with machete
When you are facing danger head on, would your first reaction be to grab a knife and fight back?
That's exactly what happened with this Florida man.
Five men have been arrested in Florida after an attempt to rob a house went spectacularly wrong. The heroic Florida man was able to fend off armed robbers with a machete, and the entire altercation was caught on camera.
The surveillance footage, posted online by the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, shows five men, one of them armed with a rifle, entering a Sarasota home at around 4:45am.
According to the Palmbeach website, as the men enter the porch around 4:45 a.m., armed with the gun, a machete and a crowbar, the homeowner jumps out of a patio chair he was sitting in, grabs the chair and flings it at the group, who are off camera.

The homeowner then grabs a piece of wood and swings it at the armed suspect, who has his gun drawn. However, the homeowner is then forced back into his house. Despite the suspect still pointing his gun, the homeowner comes back out with a machete and runs the would-be robbers off.
ABC News said the homeowner was "in fear for his life and retreated to his residence and grabbed a machete".
The thieves are now facing time in prison. Give that man a bells!
