"A 77-year-old man chased off robbers in Kislók, Fejér county after they broke into his flat early Tuesday, county police spokes-woman Mónika Németh-Kész told Inforádió.She explained that two hooded men had broken into the home of an elderly couple, pushed the man onto a bed, and begun to search the flat.
However the man grabbed a metal axe and struck one of the robbers on the head, causing them to flee empty-handed, even leaving behind the crowbar they used for the burglary. The man was injured but his wife was unhurt."
