An 83-year-old great-grandfather took on robbers wielding hammers and a sawed-off shotgun when they tried to rob a bookmakers.

Denis O'Connor was sitting in the bookies in Cork, Ireland, when three robbers wearing balaclavas burst in, two trying to vault the counter to get to the safe, while a third threatened customers with what appeared to be a shotgun.
