64-year-old Shirley Rupp is one tough woman. Don’t let her age fool you. While kneeling down near a Subway in Tuscon, Arizona, one man decided to take her purse and it was all caught on tape. At first, it seemed as if the man would get away, but the older woman wasn’t having it. She chased him down and tackled him before he got too far. During the scuffle, she even managed to get her wallet out of the purse. Check out what Rupp had to say after the jump.
In an interview with ABC News, Rupp stated:
It was total reaction, I was walking to my car from Subway and all of a sudden he was behind me. I just thought he was so close that I grabbed his jacket, and then he tripped. And evidently dropped my wallet. … My friends, and even me, are shocked that it was me. I am a very peaceful person. It’s out of my character to react like that. I don’t even watch action movies.
