An 84-year-old man in Maltby, England, fended off a would-be mugger using nothing but a pair of jeans in a dramatic confrontation inside a launderette.

A pensioner from the UK, 84-year-old Ron Croker, was using a tumble dryer in a launderette in January when a masked robber entered and demanded money.

Though left with minor bruises and shaken, Croker remained resolute as he fought off his attacker with a pair of jeans from his laundry.

South Yorkshire Police confirmed that a 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged with attempted robbery.
