The 'A-team'

South Africa -- An 80-year-old man received stitches to his head after his brave and desperate attempt to protect five fellow pensioners with his walking stick during a mugging in Newlands Forest (Cape Town) earlier this week.

The two muggers, one tall and the other short, were in close range of the elderly when they were taking their routine stroll near the stream at 9:30am on Monday.

The six pensioners put up a fight as the attempted mugging took place. The 80-year-old struck with his walking stick at the Laurel and Hardy characters.

Two of the elderly women started screaming which caught the attention of passers-by, when the two assailants ran off and left in a car that was waiting for them.

These ‘A-team’ pensioners reported the incident to the Table Mountain National Park.
