NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

AN 88-YEAR-OLD WORLD WAR TWO VETERAN FOUGHT OFF FOUR PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO ROB HIM:

There's an 88-year-old World War Two vet named Biagio Sciscione who lives in Kenilworth, New Jersey. He needs a cane or a motorized wheelchair to get around, but he's still got some of the old soldier in him.

On Sunday, Biagio was at home with his 83-year-old wife Mary, when an unidentified woman showed up on their front porch. --The girl claimed she was collecting money for a local church charity. And being the good people they are, Biagio and Mary invited her inside. But after a few minutes, the conversation got so boring that Biagio left the room.

That's when he noticed a man and two other women walking out the door with his SAFE, which contained jewelry and other valuable items. Biagio says, quote, "My adrenaline went up and my blood pressure went up to 200 . . . I ran right out there, I dropped my cane and I just went in action . . .

"The guy pushed me. I gave him a sock . . . a good sock . . . and he stood there and looked at me. I said, 'You're going to get some more if you don't drop that safe.'"

Long story short, the thieves continued to scuffle with Biagio. But, eventually, they ran off empty-handed. As of last night, the robbers still hadn't been caught. The police say they hope to release sketches of the suspects by the end of the week. (Star-Ledger / WCBS News 2 - New York)
