Default Citizen\'s Arrest - what do you think of this?

'The red man was flashing, you idiot!'

Berlin - A 77-year-old grandmother made a citizen's arrest in Germany when she rugby-tackled a 25-year-old jaywalker.

The pensioner sat on him until police arrived - because he had walked across a road before the light was green.

The woman, from Freital, near Dresden, shouted at the man as he crossed the road before the little green man flashed.

The old lady said she became even angrier when he hit her with his rucksack as he pushed past her when he reached the other side of the road.

She grabbed his hair and managed to wrestle him to the ground where she sat on him until police, who had been called by a passer-by, came.

He was taken to a local police station where he was fined for jaywalking. - Ananova.com
