Woman, 73, Fights Off Man With Books, Kick

SAN DIEGO (AP) - A 73-year-old San Diego woman fought off a man who tried 
to steal her dog by beating him with a bag of books and kicking him in the 
groin, police said.

The woman, who was not identified by police, was pushing a shopping cart 
around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday when a man on a bicycle snatched a bag from her 
cart that contained her 12-year-old Yorkshire terrier, according to San 
Diego police Sgt. Jim Schorr.

It's not clear whether the man realized there was an animal inside the bag.

As he rode away, the woman swung her book bag, knocking the man off his 
bike, then kicked him in the groin and reclaimed her dog and her bag.

The man retaliated by hitting the woman in the head and escaping on his 
bike, police said.

Neither the woman nor her dog were injured.
