Grandma may not be able to get around like she used to, but she sure can kick some butt.

83 year old Bernie Garcia was pumping fuel into her car when a young man approached asking for some money.  Grandma told the young man that she had spent all her money on fuel.  The man apparently was not satisfied with her answer, and he grabbed the purse.  But Grandma had a good hold of the purse and she began spraying the man with gasoline from the pump nozzle she was filling her car up with.  Both Grandma and the attacker fell to the ground, and the thief quickly got up and jumped into a car and fled without the purse.

Thankfully a witness wrote down the license plate number of the attackers vehicle and police caught up with the car just a few minutes later.  It just so happens the car was stolen too.  A total of three people were arrested after Grandma and the witness identified the attacker.  The other people in the vehicle were apparently involved in the attempted theft as well.

Fortunately Grandma was just a little sore and had no significant injuries.  To read the rest of this story, please click here.
