SEATTLE, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- A Seattle veteran's security cameras captured his confrontation with an intruder who wasn't ready for a fight with a paratrooper.

Andrew Myers, a veteran paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, said he and his girlfriend set up security cameras at their Seattle home after a man broke into their basement on Veterans Day and stole a shirt.

Myers said the cameras caught a man, who Myers said he believes to be the same "local creeper" behind the previous break-in, walking around his property Saturday night.

Myers said the man claimed to live at the home and then attempted to throw a punch to flee, but he was unprepared for Myers' combat skills and found himself held down until police arrived.

Myers set the video footage to music and posted it on YouTube.
