Florida MMA Fighter Subdues Home Intruder in Fort Lauderdale

Henny Rojas, a trained mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, defended his sister's Florida home from an intruder who mistakenly entered while looking for a friend's house after a night of drinking. Rojas was awakened by his teenage nephew's urgent call and quickly subdued the intruder, Austin Carasani, using his fighting skills without any weapons, relying on "just God and my hands." Carasani, 31, sustained visible bruises and was arrested on a home invasion charge, with his bond set at $20,000. The incident occurred in Wilton Manors, near Fort Lauderdale, while Rojas's sister and her husband were out of town. Rojas emphasized the importance of protecting one's family, stating he would not change how he handled the situation. The suspect claimed the break-in was accidental, but Rojas and his family had never seen him before and were unaware of his motives.
