An 89-year-old man on Thursday wrestled a knife out of the hands of a home invader, who fled after the incident, according to Marion County authorities.
According to sheriff's deputies, Emery Demers answered a knock on the door of his home, located at 6950 Bahia Road, when a kitchen knife-wielding man forced his way in and threatened Demers.
Demers grabbed the large knife from the man and a struggle ensued, with Demers getting control of the weapon, Marion County sheriff's deputies said.
The home invader, described as a heavy-set black man wearing black clothing, then fled the residence, heading east on Bahia Road, deputies said.
A neighbor told sheriff's deputies that he saw a man pacing back and forth in front of the Demers' house for a while. The witness was at a store at the time of the incident, deputies said.
Demers said he had never seen the man before.
A search of the area failed to locate the assailant. See your never to old to kick the sob butt!!!!!!!!
