‘Lady Ninja’ who saves her elderly neighbour from getting attacked.
When 67-year-old Lorenza Marrujo saw her neighbour getting attacked, she rescued her by using her ju jitsu skills. She kicked the attacker, bent his finger, and pinned him to the floor, until the police arrived. Lorenza has a black belt and is known as ‘Lady Ninja’ for her bravery.
Lorenza heard her elderly neighbour (82-year-old) scream when she decided to go and investigate. When she entered her apartment, she saw her getting attacked by another neighbour. It was a man shoving around her apartment and took both the ladies for granted, when Lorenza decided to teach him a lesson. She jumped straight, and kicked him, bent his finger, hit him twice in the sternum with her elbow and pinned him to the floor with her knees on his neck, until the police arrived.

Despite being only 4-foot-10 in height and weighing 100 pounds, Lorenza surprised the 5-foot-9-inch attacker who weighted 170-pound. He screamed in pain, and pleaded her to stop bending his fingers back, when she replied, ‘chill out’ as she pinned him down on the floor.
The attacker, named, Donald Robert Prestwood, 59, was put in jail later on for elder abuse and authorities say that he could face additional charges. According to Lorenza, Donald used to live in the same building and had showed up to her friend’s place intoxicated, asking if she would like to be his girlfriend.
