In Fond du Lac, a 36 year old man pulled a knife on another man who was unloading groceries outside his home. The knife-wielding man asked for money and attempted to punch his victim. Fortunately, somebody pulled the mugger away. Not really news is it?

But, the mugger returned later and apologized, saying that he had mistaken his victim for somebody else.

Oh, well that's okay then. Simple case of mistaken identity; no harm done.

The mugger - sorry, the would-be mugger - was held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on a tentative charge of use of a dangerous weapon.
