Apparently he himself was hit by the guy trying to run him over, so was in danger of serious injury or possibly death - the thief actually ran him down - a motorcycle accelerating into you can cause some severe damage no doubt, my only concern is that he made up the story because he saw red and at the last second and stabbed him, but... we are in England so the law is against us when it comes to protecting your life, family or property. A farmer a couple of years ago was jailed for murdering thieves that broke into his house - he had been burgled 3 or 4 times previously in a short amount of time, but shot the guy in his back with a shotgun on his way out the window. His life had been terrorised by break-ins but you can hardly plead self defence when you shoot a man in his back.
Another person was sued by a thief who injured themselves while breaking into his property and the thief won?!
My friend had a lawyer etc and was tried properly, and let out early but I think he's being honest, but the law was against him
