JAKARTA - Ro Malabanan, a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a yellow belt in judo, is forced to use his skills for the greater good. He incapacitated a homeless man who was suspected of assaulting people on the streets of New York.

The incident occurred in Manhattan's Soho district after Samuel Frazier allegedly punched a construction worker.

Malabanan, who was on his way to work, examined the victim first before pursuing the suspect and incapacitating him.

The incident sparked others to speak up by claiming that Frazier, who did not have a home address, had attacked them as well.

"My jiu-jitsu instincts just popped up. I jumped on his back," Malabanan said of the incident quoted from Marca.

"He tried to swing me at that - but for those of you who know - the seat belt position dragged him to the floor, and I immediately grabbed his back and pinned him to the ground.

"Out of nowhere people are like 'yes this guy punched me in the face,' 'yes this guy hit me,' 'this guy hit an old man'."

Frazier was indicted on two counts of assault and claimed he was a victim after being overthrown by Malabanan.

While Malabanan did not provide a police report because the incident made him late for work. The martial arts instructor asked New Yorkers to remain vigilant.

"Just one more day," said Malabanan.

"There are a lot of crazy people on the streets right now, so please be careful. They will punch you. They will vent their frustration."

Based on the video uploaded to Malabanan's Instagram account, @rotheshow, the incident occurred last week.
