Quick-thinking elderly lady captures intruder

An 87-year-old woman captured a thief by locking him in her room recently in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province.

The woman, surnamed Yu, heard somebody knock on the door while she was at home alone. She thought it was her children, but a stranger pushed in when she opened the door and said he had come to find some friends. He then rushed into Yu's bedroom.
