A feisty 74 year-old great-grandmother is being hailed as a hero after she helped police officers catch a looter who had climbed through her window.

The New York Post reported that Kevin Bullock climbed through the window of the woman, who identified herself only as Joyce, after bashing a cop in the head with a glass bong in Brooklyn, New York. Police were hot on the 22 year-old’s trail when he climbed through the elderly woman’s window, but he quickly learned the hard way that he’d picked the wrong house to break into.

Joyce was asleep when she said a voice in her head told her to wake up, and she was shocked to see the man trying to get into her second floor bedroom from the fire escape.

“What are you doing?” she shouted at him.

“I saw this person on the fire escape pushing up the window to come in. He broke the blinds and pushed out the mesh,” Joyce recalled, adding that she gave him a hard shove.

“I pushed him back with both hands as hard as I could,” she said. “I got him with such a force, and locked the window. I said, ‘You are not coming in.’”

Joyce went on to say that Bullock “didn’t say anything. … It seemed like he went back up the fire escape.”

She immediately called 911, and Bullock was quickly caught. The entire experience left the great-grandmother feeling very shaken.

“God was with me. That’s all I can say,” she told reporters. God was watching over me. I have no clue what he would have done to me. I was so frightened. My heart was beating fast, but I defended myself.”

“I have six boys and they never get in trouble. They know I don’t play that game,” the great-grandmother added.

However, Joyce was furious when she learned a judge had let Bullock out of jail after his arrest.

“The judge is an ass—e,” Joyce said. “Are you f—king serious? That’s messed up. They should have set a high bail so he didn’t get out. There are good cops and bad cops but wrong is wrong. He shouldn’t hit the cop. You cannot do wrong and get right.”
