Ax-wielding suspect subdued by teen military recruit’s MMA takedown in car wash clash caught on video
An ax-wielding Florida man allegedly stormed toward two teen brothers closing an Ocala car wash Sunday night before being quickly overpowered by the older brother, an 18-year-old MMA-trained military recruit.
