Man tries to carjack judo team's van
A US man who ended up battered and bruised when he tried to steal a van belonging to a judo team has been jailed for 11 years.
Tyrone Hogan was punched and restrained by members of the Florida International University judo club when he tried to steal their van.
He had tried to steal the van from a gas station in Hollywood after a woman whose car he'd hijacked earlier managed to escape.
Judo team members said 20-year-old Hogan asked one of them for money before reaching into the van to take the keys.
The club's instructor, Nestor Bustillo, said the students punched Hogan, then held him "like a pretzel on the ground" until police arrived.
The judo club's members were in Los Angeles to teach a self defense class. Hogan pleaded guilty to kidnapping, robbery and carjacking charges.
