Nini Attempted Robbery!!!

This morning Nini was in Cambridge, Massachusetts in downtown doing a little shopping on Lara BLVD. She was accompanied by her bodyguard Joseph as they walked along the downtown strip. They hit a few stores and fans were lined up and a small crowd formed but cops were holding everyone back. Camera crews were there and snapped pics of Nini going in and out of stores. She was in each store for about 10 minutes apiece, but obviously she didn't see anything she liked because she came out empty handed from each store except for a red bull from a cafe. The crowd walked with her down the strip even though it was blocked off and stopped everytime she went inside a store. She signed a few autographs, waved at a few people and took a couple of pics with people. At the end of her shopping though, a man who is still unidentified at this point. Rushed his way past the security and police officers and ran behind Nini. She and her bodyguard had their backs to him and she had her purse in her hand with the strap hanging. He knocked over the bodyguard and snatched Nini's purse out of her hands which broke the strap and he ran off. Nini was looking confused because it all happened so fast. At this point a male fan ran after him and Nini's bodyguard got up and ran after him also. Police officers got into their car, put their sirens on and chased after him. The whole block went into a state of emergency and cops blocked off everyone from access to her and they rushed her back to her limo where the driver pulled off immediately. Meanwhile the bodyguard, the fan and the police were after the man and they chased him for 9 blocks and the fan, who went after him first caught up with him, grabbed his shirt and slammed him to the ground. The man pulled out a gun and shot at him while he was on the ground, but the fan dodged out the way quickly and snatched the gun out of his hand. He got on top of him and started punching him repeatedly and broke his nose and had his face all bloody. Nini's bodyguard and the officers caught up to them and the cops pulled the fan off of him and picked the guy up, who was barely unconscious and slapped handcuffs on him and took him away in the backseat of the police car and the fans and camera crews cheered for the brave fan and captured every moment of it. Police took the gun off the ground and put it in an evidence bag and thanked the fan for his brave actions. Nini's bodyguard pulled the fan to the side and thanked him and the fan gave the bodyguard Nini's purse and he asked "Whats your name" and the fan replied "I'm Michael Hoffman sir" and the bodyguard told him "OK, I will let Nini know how brave of a fan she has" and the fan replied "Thanks I appreciate that, I just did what I felt I had to do" The bodyguard offered to give him a little cash for his actions which he denied at first, but the bodyguard insisted and he finally gave in and accepted $300 dollars. The bodyguard called for another limo and he took off. Nini has made a statement on the incident saying "I'm OK, and I'm thankful that I have fans who are down for me, I have a very brave fan by the name of Michael Hoffman who actually chased this guy on foot for almost 10 blocks and was almost shot just to get my bag back and I will respect him for the rest of my life". Michael is being called a local hero and was all over the news and Nini has even dedicated a page on her site to him which speaks all about his brave actions and has his picture. He made a statement saying "I'm just glad she's safe, honestly I wasn't expecting all of this attention, I was just doing what I felt was right, that guy was a jerk" The other man, we are told has been booked and thrown in jail being held without bail, police have not released his name but they have released his picture. We're glad that Nini is safe and OK, and we are sure that from now on she will be walking with more than one bodyguard.....Lets hope so...... P.S Yes Nini did get her bag back :)
