Knife-wielding burglar battered by pensioner

A BURGLAR was left battered and bruised by an elderly man after brandishing a knife in the pensioner’s home.

Former boxer Frank Corti, 72, said he was compelled to defend himself and his wife after Gregory McCalium threatened them at their Oxfordshire home.

McCalium, 24, confronted the elderly couple after a row over noise levels between the neighbours on Queens Close, Botley, Oxford.
