WOMAN, 91, TEACHES PURSE SNATCHER A LESSON

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A purse snatcher picked on the wrong 91-year-old, police said. Katherine Woodworth started swinging her purse at the man and hit him until he ran away, police said. He had walked up to her in a department store parking lot Saturday afternoon and told her that he was going to take her purse.

``I didn't have my hearing aid in, and I thought he said that he was going to take my pulse,'' she said. ``Then he said it again that he was going to take my purse and I said, 'No, you're not.'''

The small woman with gray hair and glasses turned angry.

``He just made me mad,'' Woodworth said. ``I wasn't really thinking, I just hit him.''

``I'll be 92 in August and I guess I've got more nerve now than when I was younger,'' she said.
