"Whilst shopping, the lady was challenged by an unknown female who grabbed her trolley and demanded the money she had withdrawn.

"The 86-year-old lady then defended herself by repeatedly hitting the female offender over the head with a packet of bacon.

"The offender then retreated and made off from the supermarket."

Bacon Saves Lives! And tastes good too!

I strongly suspect if the attacker was muslim that she could be arrested for a hate crime.
