Generally defending against an armed attack is daunting, and most unarmed self-defense techniques against weapons (improvised or otherwise) are highly risky at best, and catastrophically doomed to fail at worst. This is a rare example where it actually worked. Largely due to the attacker being an idiot who swung a trashy mallninja wallhanger like a baseball bat. The security guard at the hospital where it happened managed to take the scumbag lunatic down and prevent him from threatening anyone else.
