86-year-old beats up snatcher with a pack of bacon

One of the world’s favourite breakfast foods is good for more that just satisfying hunger. As reported by Mashable, an 86-year-old woman successfully used a pack of bacon to defend herself against a mugger while inside a grocery store.

According to the Great Manchester Police, the victim used an ATM machine to withdraw “a large quantity of money” before entering the store. Once inside, she was approached by a female who grabbed her shopping cart and demanded the money. That’s when, according to police, the shopper reacted by “repeatedly hitting the female offender over the head with a packet of bacon” until she fled. (The BBC even shared footage of the attack.)

While the older woman was a bit shaken, she is currently doing fine, the Great Manchester Police said.
