Now, we all know that walking canes can be used as a self-defense tool. After all, what mugger or potential criminal would not be deterred by a heavy stick swinging towards them?
One person, however, took this idea to a whole other level.
An unidentified man with a walking cane was the unwitting hero of an attack on a bus driver in Kansas City, Missouri.
An erratic passenger approached the bus driver at the bus stop and wrapped his hands around her neck.
The rescuer repeatedly struck the assailant with his cane until the attacker left the bus.
It appears that technological advancements are affecting all areas of life – including that of the centuries-old walking.
In case you thought that your walking cane could not get any better, think again.
A French startup company has been responsible for the unveiling of the “Dring Smartcane.”
