Ben Franklin will cut you or, at the least, beat you senseless

Somehow I missed this account of what happened when some kid stole Ben Franklin's hat in Downtown Crossing last week:
... Ben Franklin catches up and starts whacking the thief with his cane, so the cop starts yelling, "Easy with the cane! Easy with the cane!" ...
I bet it's the Faneuil Hall Ben Franklin who gets mad if you take his picture without paying him.

This might just be enough for him to leave our fair city for Philadelphia.
It's okay

Channel 7 interviews Ben, who leaves out the part about whacking the guy with his cane.
