translated from Spanish: 82-year-old woman cane hits thief who entered her business with cane

England.- This was the surprising moment when an 82-year-old retired woman fought a newspaper thief wrapped in a blanket, repeatedly hitting him with her cane. CCTV footage captured the store’s brave owner, June Turner, hitting and whipping the man with the stick he’s been using to move since he broke his hip three years ago.

Seconds earlier, the assailant had broken into Hanley’s AJ and J newspapers covering himself with a blue sheet and demanded cash around 6.30am on Tuesday (September 3). But the intruder was in shock when the great June refused to give in to his threats and instead went after him. He only managed to escape after fighting June before throwing her to the ground, causing her a black eye.
In total, he fled the scene on Lichfield Road with 50 euros and six packs of cigarettes. A metal bar was later recovered, while June returned behind the box to serve customers in half an hour. The June 3n grandmother, who has worked in the store for 45 years, said: “He came in with a blanket around her and I could only see her eyes. He came up to the counter and said ‘I want your money’ but I said ‘you won’t have my money’ and with that he went to the counter and got some money from the box.
I saw it with a note of 20 euros in his hand and then I couldn’t find the panic button, so I got my stick and really cloined it with it, but I thought to myself that I wish I had my wooden stick because then I didn’t.

“Then he opened the cigarettes and they were all on the floor. He pushed me to the ground and I worried in case I broke my hip, as I had a replacement a few years ago and I didn’t want to go through that again.”
June remained on the ground until a regular client named Craig came in and helped her. She said: “I yelled at Craig coming every morning that he was here on the floor and then called the police and paramedics and then my son Alan came back from handing over his papers.” It was just my instinct to try to stop him and give him a good hit. I think I was pretty surprised, I didn’t expect that””You can’t give them a break, but you have to be careful in case they have knives. I didn’t give him a chance to pull out a knife because I was already hitting him. If it happened again, I’d react the same way, but with something heavier. “We worked from early in the morning until late at night to get us out with these things””Apparently He was sitting on the step outside watching who came in and out and went in after Alan left to deliver the papers. I knew what I was going to do, but i won’t be so lucky next time.” June’s son Alan admits that he is now worried about leaving his mother alone in the store after she insisted that he would return to work the next day.
