An MMA fighter puts his skills to good use after he helped subdue a man who was allegedly attacking people in New York, US.?
Ro Malabanan, 44, was heading to work on Wednesday when he saw the suspect sucker-punch a construction worker in SoHo neighbourhood before running away.?
After checking up on the victim, Malabanan then ran after the suspect?and took him down from behind.?After pinning him to the ground, the martial arts expert stayed on top of the suspect until police arrived.?
"I walked up to the guy that (was) hit, to check to see if he was OK. He said he wasn¡¯t okay ... Immediately, my martial arts side kicks in and I'm like, let¡¯s go stop this guy," Malabanan posted on his Instagram.?
"I immediately just jumped on his back, he tried to fling me off of him. I had what's called the seat-belt position, which helped me to drag him down to the ground," he said.?
Police later arrested the accused, who was identified as Samuel Frazier.?
An initial police investigation revealed that Frazier delivered an ¡°unprovoked¡± attack to the heads of a 50-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, according to the NYPD.

Earlier in May, a former MMA fighter choked a man, who was fighting a cop on the side of the road in Indiana, US.?
William Cassoday was on his way to visit his mother when he saw a cop being attacked, the?Lake Geneva Regional News?reported.??
As soon as he noticed this, Cassoday pulled over?down the road and ran back to the scene as suspect Christopher Delgado, 37, was ¡°swinging at the cop¡±, the report said.?
Cassoday ensured not to startle the cop and put Delgado in a rear-naked choke. He?was able to subdue Delgado long enough for the patrolman Jamison Smith?to put him in handcuffs and eliminate any threat Delgado may have posed.???
Delgado was stopped by Smith for an outstanding warrant for auto theft. The suspect initially pretended he was someone else before subsequently confronting the officer.??
He was charged with a felony count of battery on a law enforcement officer resulting in bodily injury, misdemeanour resisting law enforcement and false informing.?
