GREENSBORO, N.C. -- An elderly North Carolina man has shown that the cane can be mightier than the shotgun.

Police say 84-year-old Robert Flynn used his cane to fight off a mugger.

Investigators said it started when the mugger drove in front of Flynn's home in Greensboro Wednesday and asked him for a cigarette. When Flynn said he didn't have one, the mugger got out of his car, leveled a shotgun at Flynn and demanded money.

Instead of handing over his wallet, Flynn hit the shotgun with his cane and ran around the vehicle.

Police said the mugger returned to his vehicle and chased Flynn, again threatening him with the gun. This time, Flynn hit the mugger several times on the head and shoulders with his cane, sending his attacker back to his vehicle empty-handed.
