| [Fox News] David Rinella told 'FOX & Friends' he may not be here today if a police officer wasn't passing by. "Please don't call 911" The disturbing incident caught on video shows Rinella Produce owner David Rinella being repeatedly hit with a baseball bat while trying to thwart the break-in. He suffered five broken ribs, a punctured lung and broken shoulder blade before a police officer passing the scene intervened. "Please call the police and don't try to do anything," Rinella told "FOX & Friends" Wednesday after being released from the hospital. "At 63 years old, I'm not what I used to be… I just couldn't get up every time I got up, I got put back down. This lady seemed like she had superhuman strength." "Then I got a gun pulled me, a nine millimeter, and the guy wanted my keys," he continued. "That's when an officer just came by, by accident… I was so happy to see him. He stopped everything." |
