Reports have emerged of how an American 82-year-old award-winning female bodybuilder beat up a man who broke into her house.
It was gathered that octogenarian, Willie Murphy, was getting ready for bed in her home in Rochester, New York, at around 11 p.m. when she heard pounding on her front door.
“[A man] was outside saying please call an ambulance because I’m sick, I’m sick,” Murphy told ABC Rochester affiliate WHAM.
Murphy ended up calling police to get the man the help he requested but she didn’t let the man inside, which caused him to become angry, she said.
“I hear a loud noise, I’m thinking, ‘what the heck was that,'” Murphy said. “The young man is in my home. He broke the door.”
Murphy, who said she can deadlift 225 pounds and recently won a weightlifting competition earlier this year, was shocked but unperturbed.
“He picked the wrong house to break into,” she said, as the intruder
When police officers finally arrived a few minutes later, the suspect was apprehended and Murphy was applauded by the first responders.
“The officers that came wanted to go on my front porch and take selfies with me,” she said. “I’m alone and I’m old but guess what? I’m tough.”
