Combat vet 'Crazy Ed' takes down lurking thief in video days after saving a life

A would-be thief lurking around a California Walmart didn't stand a chance when he ran into HED P.E.'s tour bus and met Josh "Crazy Ed" Edwards.

"Josh was like, ‘F------ swing on me. I dare you,’" one of the band members said in an Instagram video on Jan. 23 that they shared with Fox News Digital that shows Edwards' takedown and the aftermath.

Band members laughed and narrated the scene as Edwards held the suspect on the ground and emptied his pockets, where he found a knife that he tossed to the side. 

Then the two had a chat while they waited for the police. The suspect thought Edwards was part of an undercover sting.
