Gregory McCalium, 23, showed up at court looking the worse for wear not as a result of overzealous policing, rather because he got on the end of two of the wrong grandfather’s right hooks.

When Frank Corti discovered Gregory McCalium trying to break into his Oxford (UK) home, he confronted him, only to have the young man “take a slash” at him with a knife. The 71-year-old grandfather, who also happened to be a former army boxer responded with two right hooks that left McCalium unconscious. The former featherweight then made a citizen’s arrest and waited for police to arrive.

In a plea for leniency, McCalium’s lawyer told the court that his client “looked like a car accident”.

McCalium’s lawyer told the court his client “looked like a car accident,” and went on to add that “Photos of the scene looked more like a murder scene.”

The Judge was unsympathetic and before sentencing McCalium to four-and-a-half years commented that “(he) got what he deserved.”
