Heroine with a cigarette lighter!
Kathy Reynolds, 32, was walking home one afternoon when she stopped to light a cigarette. A car stopped behind her and a man jumped out. To Kathy's horror, the man pulled out a knife and demanded money from an old woman, Eileen Murphy, 73, who was waiting at a bus stop. Kathy – who is only 1.55 m tall – took her cigarette lighter and set fire to the back of the mugger’s trousers! The man was so shocked he dropped his knife and with the help of Mrs Murphy, Kathy knocked the man to the ground, sat on him and tied his arms and legs together with a shoe lace! She then called the police using her mobile phone – and moments later the police came to arrest the man!
