Man Beaten -- With His Own Artificial Leg
Stockton, CA police are looking for three suspects who attacked an elderly couple early Wednesday evening and used an unusual weapon to attack them -- the man's artificial leg. Ma Khamchai, 66, and his wife, 62 year-old Noi were walking near their Lindsay Street home when they were confronted by two women and a man who demanded Noi's purse. Ma fought back, kicking at his attackers, but in the scuffle his artificial leg came off. The robbers then used the leg to beat the couple. The three got the purse and fled the scene. The couple was not seriously hurt. Police are looking for two women in their early 20s and a man about 18 or 19 years old. Ma Khamchai said he lost his leg in a landmine accident in his native Thailand when he was very young.
