A man broke into the Rochester, New York, home of an 82-year-old grandmother. It didn't end well -- for him.
Willie Murphy said she was getting ready for bed Thursday night when a man began pounding on her door, urging her to call an ambulance for him, CNN affiliate WHAM reported.

What a great news item, he certainly got more than he bargained for, let’s hope the cowardly bastard suffers for a long time !

I saw her interviewed on TV, working out with weights. She's a pip!

Good for her! I need to get back at lifting weights.

I don't understand, she can lift 225 but couldn't pull him out of her house? How big WAS that guy? I've always wanted to know the secret of Spock's neck pinching, but it's probably just fiction. I heard of a very old woman who used a baseball bat to fight off an intruder.

When Steve Harvey had a talk show he had an elderly woman on who gave a guy a beat down with her cane and forced him to wait until police arrived. Steve did role play... hilarious

Great interview! I'd read about this, but hadn't seen the interview. She's something else! Said the perp was drunk, but I bet he sobered up quick going through all that.
