CCTV footage has emerged of a would-be criminal knocking himself out by trying to smash a car window with a brick.
ITV News reported that the footage was uploaded to YouTube by the car’s owner, Gerry Brady.
The minute-long clip shows a man trying to throw a brick through a Mercedes parked outside the Pheasant pub in Drogheda, Ireland.
It doesn’t end well for the hapless chap though – it bounces off the vehicle, hits him in the face, and knocks him out.
Brady added:
When the Gardaí picked him up, he started claiming that I attacked him. He was still telling them that in the station when I came in with the footage of him getting knocked out by his own brick.
You should have heard the Garda laughing when they saw the video. They were in stitches. Credit to them, they were straight out when we called and found the guy within minutes.
The Garda told the Irish Independent the incident was being investigated.
