Four Sledgehammer Weilding Men vs. Old Woman with Purse

F I G H T !

AWESOME, Awesome, awesome. It wasn’t her fight; it wasn’t her store. But when four men tried to smash their way into a jewelry shop with sledgehammers, an old woman with a purse decided to put an end to their thievery:

Video footage of the attempted robbery at a jeweller’s in Northampton town centre showed the unlikely have-a-go-hero crossing a road and jogging briskly towards the six-strong mob as they smashed the shop’s windows.

The raiders, who had arrived at the scene on three scooters, drove away just moments after the red-coated pensioner, thought to be aged in her 70s, began lashing out at them with a large black handbag. One man actually falls off his bike and is apprehended by more good Samaritans.

It’s true what they say; It only takes one person with courage to make a minority.
