“I AM FORCING MY WAY IN”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, INVESTIGATORS SAY 35-YEAR-OLD MARK KATSNELSON ATTACKED A 65-YEAR-OLD NEIGHBOR WHO OPENED HIS DOOR TO HELP A SCREAMING WOMAN… AND WAS KNOCKED OUT BY THE SELF-TRAINED BOXER BEFORE BEING JAILED WITHOUT BOND ON BURGLARY CHARGES.
The incident occurred in Northeast Miami-Dade, Florida.
Barry Sands was asleep on a Saturday night when knocking outside woke him up.
“(I heard) knocking like crazy,” Sands said.
“I get up, I don’t even have shoes on.”
Investigators say his neighbor was pounding on his door asking for help after an argument with her boyfriend.
Sands got up and opened it.
Then 35-year-old Mark Katsnelson forced his way inside and started throwing punches.
Sands did not back down.
He was a 65-year-old self-trained boxer.

And he countered the assault immediately.
“He was out, I mean he was out,” Sands said afterward, adding that he punched the intruder “as many as I could.”
Katsnelson was taken to Ryder Trauma Center for treatment.
He was subsequently booked into jail.
Authorities booked Katsnelson on a charge of burglary with assault or battery.
Investigators also learned he had an outstanding warrant out of a separate case.
That warrant involved multiple counts of drug possession.
He is being held without bond.
No public record was found of how this case was ultimately resolved.
The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
