CLEVELAND -- Police say a bank robber in Cleveland tangled with the wrong senior citizen.
The robber, who police said stole more than $5,000 from bank tellers on Tuesday, called 70-year-old James Matteson an "old man" and told him to get out of the way.
Matteson, a Navy veteran and long-time bar owner, decided not to let the thief get away with it.
He threw the robber against a wall then to the floor, where a security guard and off duty police officer helped subdue the man.
Matteson's arm got sliced with a utility knife but he is otherwise fine. When he got home, Matteson says his wife scolded him for being too old to be doing things like that.
