White-Horsed Septuagenarian

Donna Blankman was being mugged in front of a Marco Island grocery store in broad daylight. Although she knew she should let go of her purse, she just didn't want to. The mugger knocked her down then began to drag her:

I started yelling help. That's when my hero appeared out of nowhere," said Blankman.

"I simply walked over and put my hand around his head and put him in a head lock, and twisted his head and gave him a little pain," said [74-year-old Ken] Parker.

The man dropped the purse and Blankman got away.

"I gave him another violent twist where he went down on his face, and I was on top of him," said Parker.

Parker said he bumped his head on the concrete but just then two other men came to help.

OK, I've got to remember this: it's headlock, twist for pain, violent twist to bring to ground.

Although he's been retired for 30 years, Parker says he's still game:

When asked if he would do it again Parker replied, "Oh absolutely. If someone grabbed your purse, I'd throw them right down!"

At the link there's a cute video where he re-enacts the headlock.
The crimefighter's got a lot of snow on the roof, but he can still kick badguy ass.
