A crowd of 50 watched but only he had the guts to tackle raiders
2008
Overview
Gabrielle Henry, manager of WT Spa in the street, said: \"I saw this old guy go past and push one of them over. He grabbed his balaclava and shouted 'I've got your DNA'. The other guy was still hitting the window but then they ran off.\" The attackers were apparently targeting Rolex watches in the shop understood to have been robbed at least three times in the past year. \"There must have been about 40 to 50 people watching but he was the only one who thought, 'I'm not putting up with this'. We were all amazed he had the guts to do it.\" Sammy Coco, deputy manager of Gant, said the pensioner had saved the day. The story prompted much online debate. One reader, Tony D, wrote: \"Well done to the elderly warrior. I'm guessing he's been through some real wartime battles in his youth, and knows more about real bravery than most of the watching crowd put together.\" .. .. Do you know the pensioner?
