Batman has the Batmobile and this 92-year-old has her mobility scooter!

Eileen Mason and her friend Margaret Seabrook were returning home from lunch one day when they encountered a thief. The man appeared from behind a fence and eyed up the belongings sitting in Margaret's basket.

But this robber didn't know what he was in for. Eileen yelled at the man, "oh no you don't", hit the accelerated on her scooter and sent him flying.

She said, "We went through the war and all the bombings. We won't let a weasel like that hold us back."

Good on you Eileen!
