A British woman in her 80s who was hit in the face by a man fought him off by squeezing his testicles.
The pensioner was walking her dog in Stoke Orchard near Cheltenham when the man, said to be 25 to 35 years old, stomped out of a wooded
area shouting, "get off my land" and hit her in the mouth, said the Gloucestershire police. "
The attack left the woman with bruising and a small cut.
In reaction, the victim said she immediately grabbed the man by his testicles, causing him to fall to the ground, before calmly walking away in the opposite direction and not looking back."
The spokesman added: "Clearly this was an unusual method of self-defence and the attacker got more than he bargained for. We need information about this incident. It would have been a terrible experience for a person of any age and we would urge anyone who can help to come forward."
