An 82-year-old shopkeeper has been left with minor injuries after fighting off a robber with her walking stick.
CCTV footage of the incident at AJ and J Newsagents in Stoke-On-Trent shows elderly shop owner June Turner hitting the robber with her walking stick, and grappling with him as he tries to steal shop goods.
Mrs Turner is then knocked to the ground as the robber flees the scene with stolen cash and cigarettes.

A 28-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of robbery.
