LL Cool J puts hurt on burglar

Well, he did have a big hit with “Mama Said Knock You Out” after all.

Rapper-turned-TV star LL Cool J nabbed a burglar trying to break into his LA house early yesterday — fracturing the guy’s nose and jaw in the process, according to reports.

Cool J, who now stars as Sam Hanna in “NCIS: Los Angeles,” heard noises coming from the kitchen in his Studio City home, went downstairs to check it out, and got into a “knockdown, drag-out” fight when the perp rushed at him, according to LA Now.

Cool J then held the suspect, who was described as a transient, until the cops arrived.

The man, who was not identified, was hospitalized for his injuries, according to TMZ.com.
