When the Girls Fight Back

YOU GO GIRLS!

Earlier today 22 year-old David Monegro walked up to two girls while they waited for the trolley at the depot in the 6200 block of Imperial Avenue, and grabbed one of the girl's backpacks. 

When she tried to stop him, he threatened her with a knife. In her defense -  one of the girls pulled out her own knife! (I hope a YouTube video pops up!)

Mongero and the girl then tried to stab each other, while other girl picked up Mongero's skateboard and hit him in the head.

The girl with the knife then stabbed Mongero in the back of the neck.

The totally defeated would-be-robber then ran to a local barber shop, where he was taken into custody, then transported to a local hospital.

Mongero was - of course - booked into county jail for robbery.

YOU GO GIRLS!
