Fort Wayne, Indiana

From the November 26, 2006 Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:

A Fort Wayne man was able to escape a would-be robber early Thursday but did not escape without injury.

According to a Fort Wayne police report, the man was arriving home on East Rudisill Boulevard about midnight when he was approached by another man on a mountain bike.

According to police, the man got out of his car and was walking to his house when the man on the bike showed him a knife and demanded his money.

The man punched the robber, knocking him to the ground, police said.

The man then went into his house and brought out his handgun, but the robber was already leaving the area on his bicycle, police said.

The man then realized that he had been stabbed in the left hand, police said.

This is a little marginal; the knowledge that he had a gun in the house may have made him more willing to fight back, and the robber was perhaps "already leaving the area on his bicycle" because he figured the chances were high that the victim wasn't headed into the house to get him a sandwich.
