If no firearm, then as the light hits him I need to decide if I need to get my knife out, or would be better off with my right hand free.
From there I cant speculate any farther since you need to know what the guy is intending on doing first - which can never happen. Trick to personal defense is being able to read the situation quickly and useing the tools you have available.

If you can hit him with a small flashlight, you let him get too close. If this guy is a convicted felon, chances are he is in better physical condition than you. Unless you have the time to lift weights eight hours a day.
One of the benefits of our prison system is a convict is healthier and in better physical condition than when he went in.
A life of crime is hard work. Thankfully, they are more prepared to start up where they left off in their careers when they are released.
