The sight of a woman being struck was simply too much for a diner at a Waffle House who decided to take matters into his own hands.

After seeing a man put his hands around the neck of a fellow customer, the war veteran marched over to the table to lay down the law and put the alleged abuser in his place.

'You touch her again and you will be my motherf***ing breakfast,' he bellowed, grabbing the man by his shirt. 'What you going to do to me?'
