80-Year-Old Woman Knocks Rat Unconscious
story.news.yahoo.com

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A supermarket rat that had dodged a number of poison traps got its comeuppance when an 80-year-old shopper knocked it unconscious after it tried to steal her cheese, a Belgian daily said Thursday.



The rat had been hiding in the supermarket for a month, but staff attempts to trap the rodent had repeatedly failed.

The woman told the daily Gazet Van Antwerpen how she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hand after picking up a pack of cheese at the supermarket just outside Brussels.

"A rat the size of my hand was hanging on my finger," she told the newspaper.

"I grabbed the rat with my other hand and smacked it on the floor. The animal was on the floor, completely knocked unconscious."
