West told WLFA,

“When he started reaching into his pants like he had a weapon, that’s when I did something just to protect my girlfriend,

The whole time I was holding him, down it really, really hurt my heart,

I wasn’t trying to be malicious in anyway, it’s just how I reacted to the situation.

I did what I had to do to protect the person I love, I hope he [Nemeth] gets the help he needs and I hope it helps his loved ones, too.”

Regarding his boxing skills, West told Herald Tribune,

“If anyone has ever trained, you put your hooks in and I flattened him out on his stomach.

He eventually just ended up. I let him roll over, so I had him face-to-face, so I was holding his arms. I just wanted to stop him.”

Anthony Nemeth, 26, was charged with one count of attempted armed robbery. According to the station, even if the thief didn’t have a gun on him but pretended that he has one; “armed” action applies as defence of victims.

So I guess, this Valentine’s gift is so special and unforgettable for his girlfriend to cherish.
