A man chased and fought three suspected thieves on Boxing Day while wearing only a T-shirt and briefs.

CCTV captured the moment Steve Middleton, 50, grabbed one of the youths by the shirt as they walked away from a property on Australia’s Gold Coast.

The video showed four men attempting to flee and fight Steve, as they attempted to “drive” through parked cars.

Steve told Gold Cost Bulletin: “I woke up to see someone go through the curtains into the car. I assumed it was my daughter’s partner.

“Then I saw another head appear on the other side, going through the other car. I was like oh shit, we’re getting robbed.

“I was naked, so I went for a quick jog and ran outside.”

One of the others tried to hit him with a bat during the attempted robbery.

The father-of-two also said he was stabbed during the fight.

“The old fellow cut me with his knife,” he said.

“The other old friend waved a baseball bat at me, so I just used this little guy as a shield.

“It’s just something I didn’t expect to wake up and throw myself into.”
