LL Cool J takes down burglar in his LA home; robber hospitalized with broken nose, jaw

Well, Mama did say to knock you out.

LL Cool J put his “NCIS: Los Angeles” training to good use against a burglar in his L.A. home early Wednesday morning.

The 42-year-old rapper turned TV military cop left the would be robber with a broken nose and jaw in what police sources described to the LA Times as a"knock-down, drag-out" fight and detained him for police. Law enforcement sources told the gossip site TMZ that LL, aka James Todd Smith, was woken by a noise at about 2 a.m. and confronted the intruder downstairs. The suspect, who is currently in the hospital and has yet to be named, is expected to be charged with burglary, cops said.

“LL Cool J, and his family, are safe and thank everyone for their thoughts and concern,” a spokesman said in a statement to the Daily News. “As a father, husband and citizen, he is committed to keeping his family safe and is cooperating with authorities on this private matter." The Long Island-born star, who raps “LL Cool J is hard as hell, battle anybody, I don’t care who you tell” on his hit “Rock the Bells,” told Men’s Health in 2006 his workout regimen includes pullups, punching a heavy bag and running up hills with a weighted vest.

As impressive as the "Mama Said Knock Ya Out" rapper’s feat is, action star Dolph Lundgren managed to subdue a band of masked intruders who broke into his home in Spain in 2009 — without actually being there. After taking Lundgren’s wife and children hostage, the home invaders realized whose house they were robbing after stumbling on a photograph. They dropped the jewelry they were pilfering, apologized and fled. “It’s a good thing for them I wasn’t there,” the hulking Lundgren told The News a year later, “or else, ‘you’ll be sorry.’ ”

On a side note, this says that LL Cool J is 42 years old, however according to Wikipedia and IMDB he was born January 14, 1968, which would make him 44 years old. Of course none of that really matters because he stopped aging at 30.

Go LL! Handle yo shit!

ssshhhhhhiiiiiitttt!! If all it took was a break in to get tackled by LL... I would have done that shit years ago! That is one fine piece of meat!

Now watch, the burglar will turn around and sue him for assault.

You know, there have been fucked up cases like that but good luck finding a jury who buys it. I HOPE!!! Anyway, I'm glad the thief was the only one who was injured with the possible exception of some scraped knuckles for LLCJ from the thief attacking Mr. Smith's fist with his face.

Go Hollis! Glad to know those muscles ain't just for show.

Here is the other article that was referenced by the way.

Armed Burglars Break Into Dolph Lundgren's House

Armed robbers fled after discovering the home they had broken into belonged to 'tough guy' actor Dolph Lundgren. The masked raiders tied up the star's wife and terrorised her into handing over cash and jewellery by threatening her with knives. But they cut short their raid on the house near Marbella, Spain, after spotting a family photo of the action star and his children in one of the bedrooms. Luckily for the gang, Lundgren - most famous for playing Russian boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV - was out.

The 6ft 5in karate black belt, once bodyguard to singer Grace Jones, had to save his strength for consoling wife Anette when she phoned him in tears to tell him what had happened. Police are still hunting the three attackers. An insider said: 'Things might have turned out very differently if Dolph had been in. 'The criminals fled as soon as they realised the owner of the house they had raided was someone they wouldn't want to come up against in a fight. 'They left Anette pretty traumatized. She's Dolph's angel and anyone who messes with her is messing with him.'

Lundgren, an expert in full contact karate, once injured Sylvester Stallone while filming Rocky IV. The Hollywood actor was taken to hospital with bruising after being punched in the chest. The Swede, who turns 52 in November, still has a six-pack from training up to six days a week in his local gym. He recently took part in a six-round exhibition fight against a Russian wrestler and boxer in Moscow.

The father-of-two, who moved to Marbella from London, has starred in more than 40 films since his breakthrough with Rocky IV and was in the frame for last year's I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here!' He also has a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney and a genius-level IQ of 160. He has been married to jewellery designer wife Anette Qviberg for the past 15 years.
