CHANDLER, Ariz. - A robbery suspect picked the wrong cab driver to rob after the driver pulls a "Mike Tyson" on him.
Meet Mwanga Sotchi...one cab driver you don't want to mess with or pull a gun on!
Sotchi pulled a quick one a passenger who tried to rob him - but instead of tackling the suspect or calling the police, he almost bit off the suspect's ear!
This all happened outside of a Chandler apartment complex near Dobson and Ocotillo.
All the cab driver wanted was his money for the long ride. He never expected the passenger to pull a gun on him.
You could say Sotchi took a "bite out of crime."
After the bite, police say the suspect let go of his gun and tried to run off, but Sotchi grabbed the gun and ran after the suspect.
Sotchi eventually called the police and they caught the suspect, 29-year-old Matthew Mailhot, a few blocks away.
Mailhot is being treated at a local hospital.
