Tasty ?

I'm familiar with \"tasty\" meaning attractive, but I heard it used the
other evening to mean \"ready to fight/good with his fists/will defend
himself\". The specific use was something along the lines of \"Well, I
didn't know him in those days, but I think he was a pretty tasty
bloke in his day.\" The conversation which followed made it clear that
they didn't mean \"attractive\". (OED has the slang use meaning
something like \"a known criminal\" or a a criminal record.)
It was a new one to me -- anyone familiar with it?
