An 87-year-old woman in Maine managed to thwart an intruder who burst into her home when she fed him some snacks after he complained of being hungry. According to a local media report, the weird incident occurred at around 2 AM last Wednesday morning in the town of Brunswick when Marjorie Perkins was roused from her sleep by a teenager in her bedroom. "He said, 'I'm going to cut you,'" she later recalled, explaining that she then "thought to myself, 'If he's going to cut, I'm going to kick.' So I jumped into my shoes." What followed next was something of a scuffle as the young man threw punches at Perkins while she cried out for help and attempted to shield herself with a chair that was between them.
