Early this morning LL Cool J came face to face with robber in his home and took matters into his own hands.

Darn right he did!!

According to TMZ: LL was upstairs in his mansion when he heard some commotion downstairs. He went to check it out … and BANG found the intruder. The gossip site reports that the burglary suspect entered LL’s Los Angeles area house around 2AM and tripped the alarm system.

But Mr Cool J did not run and hide, like I would, no way sir, he went ”hand-to-hand combat on the dude” and took him down, then “managed to detain him until LAPD arrived a few minutes later to make the arrest.”

“The suspect, who will be booked for burglary, suffered a few bruises.” LL is ok!! [TMZ]
