(CNN)A man broke into the Rochester, New York, home of an 82-year-old grandmother. It didn't end well -- for him.
Willie Murphy said she was getting ready for bed Thursday night when a man began pounding on her door, urging her to call an ambulance for him, CNN affiliate WHAM reported.
Murphy told WHAM she called the police but wouldn't let the man in her house. Then, she said, he became angry and broke through the door.
"It's kind of semi-dark and I'm alone, and I'm old. But guess what, I'm tough," she said, bearing her muscular arms. "He picked the wrong house to break into."

Damn. She broke a table on him, beat him with the legs, squirted shampoo in his face, jumped on him, and beat him with a broom.
Bet that bastard won't pick on helpless li'l ol' ladies again.
