A mainland court has ordered a mugger's intended victim to pay his attacker 70,000 yuan after he fought off the attempted robbery and beat him up.
The court sentenced the mugging target, identified only as Yuan, to three months' probation along with the fine the Global Times newspaper said.
The would-be thief, named only as Zeng, tried to steal Mr Yuan's cell phone in Dongguan but he turned on the mugger and chased after him with two other men, the report said.
The trio caught up with Mr Zeng and beat him. A bruised Mr Zeng reported the February incident to police the next day and the three men turned themselves in soon afterwards.
Mr Yuan and his co-defendants were criminally liable since they did not report the attempted robbery to police before taking action, Dongguan No 3 People's Court ruled.
