Gloucester  England Nov 17 2012 Heroic father Amgad Ahmed has spoken of the moment hetackled a burglar to the ground and sat on him while his family slept upstairs.
He has been praised by a judge and given a cash reward forhis bravery in "frightening circumstances" after he overpoweredintruder Brian Wing when he crept into his Overbury Road home through an unlockedpatio door.
Amgad, who is a six foot, 12 stone bouncer, was sleeping onhis sofa when he was woken by torchlight.
He leapt up and grappled the larger man to the ground,fending off blows to his head.
Snatching away the torch, he then used it to hit Wing andthen held him until police arrived.
He said: "He was very strong but I managed to pin hisarms and call for my partner to ring the police."
He said the incident was "terrifying" for hisfamily and is angry his assailant has escaped jail.
Wing, who had been drinking before the attack, has beengiven a 12 month prison sentence. It was suspended for two years, meaning hewill not go to jail unless he commits another crime.
Amgad said: "It's not good enough for attacking someonein their house."
Following the struggle on March 9, unemployed Wing, of Chester Road, Gloucester,needed 17 staples to cuts in his head.
Amgad, whose day job is as an aircraft engineer for RGVAviation at Gloucestershire Airport, said he had"no regrets" about injuring Wing and said he dreads to think whatcould have happened if he had instead broken into a pensioner's home.
He was also left with injuries – to his face – and hispartner was so badly shaken they have had to move into a new home with theirthree-year-old son.
He said: "I would never wish it on my worst enemybecause it was really scary."
On Friday a judge at Gloucester Crown Court commended Mr Ahmedfor his bravery and rewarded him with £300 from the High Sheriff's fund.
Sentencing Wing, Judge William Hart told him he had"bitten off more than he could chew".
