This 5'10" man was held at sword point by a 5'7" woman who had trained in medieval combat with the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Karen Dolley, 43, woke up at midnight to the sound of a man's voice, "leapt out of bed, turned on the lights and saw him standing in her living room."

[S]he immediately attacked, punching him about 10 times and cornering him in her bedroom. She reached for her gun in a nearby drawer, but she accidentally opened the wrong drawer.... She reached for her backup weapon, a Japanese-styled sword called ninjato, which she keeps near her bed...

The police arrived 2 minutes after she called, and the guy, Jacob Wessel, apologized as they were taking him away.

Dolley is only upset that the intruder ruined her sleep and angered her cat.

“At the end of the day, I’m glad to know that even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I’m not going down without a fight,” Dolley said.
