Nicky Hilton made a citizen’s arrest over the weekend after being assaulted by a vagrant. Or as I like to call him, my own personal hero. According to TMZ

It happened at 5:00 AM outside the IHOP in West Hollywood. Law enforcement sources tell us a male transient pushed her to the ground. Nicky got up and promptly made a citizen’s arrest. Someone called the cops and the suspect was arrested. She was not injured.

Nicky herself held the assailant at bay while the cops came.

You’ve gotta be careful when making a citizen’s arrest. Like that time I went to the beach with a megaphone and a duffel bag full of plastic tarps and arrested anyone I saw that had no business wearing a bikini. Turns out being fat in a bathing suit isn’t actually illegal. And it also turns out that forcibly wrapping people in plastic qualifies as “assault.” You’d think you’d be covered under the Good Samaritan law, but no. There’s just no justice in this world anymore.
