An 82-year-old grandmother, Willie Murphy who also happens to be an award winning bodybuilder has told the story of how she confronted a burglar more than half her age and absolutely battered him.
Murphy was getting ready for bed when a man started banging on her door, WHAM-TV reports. She said she called the police and didn’t let him inside her house.
She told WHAM that’s when he got mad and broke the door. Murphy said she was able to hide from the man because it was dark. She said she acted fast, grabbed a table and “went to work on him.”
She said when she knew he was hurt, she ran to grab shampoo and just started pouring it on him.
“I’m alone and I’m old, but guess what? I’m tough”, she said.
Murphy also got her broom and started hitting him with it until officers got to her house. First responders loaded the man up into an ambulance and took him away, CNN reports.
“I think he was happy when he went in the ambulance because I sent him in the ambulance. Yes, I did,” Murphy told CNN.
CNN said Murphy is an award-winning bodybuilder who works out at her local YMCA almost every day. She said for the record, she can dead lift 225 pounds.
