A way over the top response. The burglar was obviously drunk, and the OAP took advantage of it. This is assault and battery. It's the OAP who should be jailed, and sued for damages as well.

A knife-wielding burglar got a shock when he attacked a pensioner in his home - a couple of right hooks to the face.
Gregory McCalium had not realised that 72-year-old victim Frank Corti was a retired boxer.
This police mugshot of 23-year-old McCalium, taken soon after he was arrested at Mr Corti's home, shows the facial injuries the OAP inflicted as he made a citizen's arrest.
Today, 72-year-old Frank Corti is beginning a four-and-a-half year prison sentence after a judge told him he 'got what he deserved.'
Naughty Naughty! It's McCalium who's getting four and a half years. Since he attacked with a knife, I'd have given him ten years

Even thought it is the daily mail, the little t0sser got his just desserts.
He will be the laughing stock of the nick, and will hopefully provide more substantial entertaintainment to any septagenerian con that wants a bit of mushy white butt.
