81-year old Mabel Schmelmer of Concord, N.H. wrote a fairy tale ending today to her own story - a story that began in austerity. While leaving her regular Friday afternoon matinée, Schmelmer's purse was snatched from off her shoulder. As the bandit took his first getaway step, she stuck her foot out and tripped the man, sending him headlong down an escalator.
"I had just finished watching The Bourne Supremacy, so I knew I could do it," said Schmelmer to Channel 6 news, "I guess I just kind of reacted."
Adding to the thief's already bruised knees and crushed ego, his collar got stuck in the escalator stairs at the bottom allowing mall security time to apprehend him.
