LL Cool J tackles burglar in his home (video)

Los Angeles - Rapper LL Cool J doesn’t just have those biceps for show. And when he said, “Momma said knock you out”, he stands behind those words.

Early this morning, an intruder entered LL Cool J’s home and found out the hard way. A TMZ exclusive reports that he came face-to-face with a burglary suspect and ‘took the guy down with his own hands early this morning.” The incident happened at approximately 2 a.m. Pacific time in his L.A. area home. Reportedly, after hearing some noise downstairs, he went to check it out and found the suspect. Somehow the burglar had figured out a way to offset LL’s alarm system and make his way inside. The veteran rapper, movie and TV star, is also well known for his physique. LL went hand-to-hand, took the suspect down and detained him until police arrived. The NCIS star has been reported as doing fine. The burglar, however, is reported as having a few bruises and charges pending. *update - The Los Angeles Times reports the suspect suffered more injuries than a few bruises. The burglar who broke into the Studio City home of actor-rapper LL Cool J suffered a broken nose and jaw in what police sources described as a "knock-down, drag-out" fight.
