Plucky Birmingham pensioner fights off burglar

Police in Birmingham are hailing a plucky pensioner after a burglar fell down a flight of stairs following a morning raid on her home. 

A police hunt is now underway to find the man who terrified the 80-year-old and her husband just after 11am on Wednesday 21 January 2015.

The would-be burglar used a door key stolen in an earlier burglary to sneak into the house on Green Meadow Road, Northfield.
