Mama said knock you out. Actor and rapper LL Cool J “physically detained” an alleged burglar he caught in his Los Angeles home early Wednesday, police said. The man tripped his home security alarm at 1 a.m. LL Cool J was upstairs in his home when he heard noise coming from the kitchen area. When he went down to see what was happening, the unidentified suspect came at him, leading to the fight.

A rep confirms LL Cool J is safe and unharmed. As for the personal beating LL put on the intruder — the rep would only say, “He is committed to keeping his family safe and is cooperating with authorities.”
