Hamilton police are praising an elderly woman who fought off an aggressive youth with a rolling pin as he tried to break into her home.
The woman successfully managed to keep the 15-year-old at bay in the early hours of Saturday morning by repeatedly striking him on the head with the rolling pin after he smashed a back window and tried to reach around to unlock the door.
Constable Chris Mankelow said officers arrived at the woman's address to find the offender embarrassed and wearing only his boxer shorts.
"The woman who is aged in her seventies and lives on her own was awoken about 3.30am by a man swearing and banging on her door, claiming he lived there."
Despite the lady's assurances that it was her home, where she has lived for 30 years, the boy would not leave and call centre operators could hear him yelling abuse at her, police said.
"So he's stuck his head in and the victim has promptly struck him on the head with her rolling pin, she noticed he was still there so she's hit him a second and third time," Mr Mankelow said.
"When we arrived we found the offender crying. He'd had had a wee 'accident' and stripped down to his boxers and was pretty keen to be taken away."
He had been bailed to his parents' address and referred to Youth Aid.
Mr Mankelow said responding officers were impressed by the pensioner's bravery
