FOUR BANDITS BEATEN
TWO HURLED INTO GUTTER. Mr Thomas Braybrook, a London rent collector, who is 6ft. lin. in height and of strong build, thoroughly thrashed four motor bandits who attacked him recently. He was working in a Bloomsbury street, I and had just left one house with a bag containing a large sum of money when the four men jumped out of a motor car. The attack was begun in a second—it was over in minutes. Mr Braybrook put his back to the wall, dropped his bag to the ground, and turned on his assailants. His first blow hurled one man to the gutter, where, lying dazed, he was joined a moment later by an accomplice. Mr Braybrook turned his attention to the remaining two bandits, who could not defend themselves against the terrific attack. The two men fled for the motor car,where they were joined by the two men from the gutter. The car disappeared at high speed.
