An 81-year-old widow in Blackheath, the United Kingdom, showed that she wasn’t to be messed with by defending herself against a would-be thief at a cash ATM. Doreen Jones was captured on camera withdrawing money at a Lloyds Bank machine in the center of town when she was approached by a young woman begging.
The young woman refused to leave Jones alone and eventually tried to grab her bank card as it was coming out of the cash machine. That’s when the pensioner struck back. “I grabbed my card first, put it in my hand, then grabbed her quick,” Jones told BBC Crimewatch. “I got her hair as well as her collar and she started screaming.”
