Sussex police ordered to search for a six-foot, dark-haired youth of about 20 who failed to mug (抢劫) a five-foot, 74-year-old grandmother. The youth rushed at Mrs West and tried to take her things and money when she was walking out of a church. The result should have been an expected conclusion.

God!" and ran away. "If I hadn’t been carrying my shopping I would really have put him on his back." said Mrs West who had practised judo (柔道) when younger. "When my husband was living.
