Old woman fights off robbers with her walking stick after seeing them attack a 12-year-old girl


UK - Police are trying to trace the woman, believed to be in her 70s, who came to the girl's aid in a subway in Stretford, Greater Manchester.

The three youths pushed the girl to the ground and stole £7 from her. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - World of Watches
