Mobility scooter grannies exchange blows in supermarket clash

Two grannies grannies on mobility scooters had to be dragged apart after they started fighting in a supermarket. Shoppers watched in amazement as the pair began trading blows and ramming each other in a furious row over money.

Police were called after staff heard screams from the fruit and veg aisle and officers broke up the brawl. One of the pair, 78-year-old Lucy Heslop, was led to an ambulance with blood seeping from a rip in her arm.



A shocked shelf-stacker told how the grannies set about each other in the Iceland store at Crawley, West Sussex. The worker said: “It was truly disturbing. They were ramming each other like dodgems.”

Lucy’s granddaughter Danielle Phillips said: “Grandma used to be really friendly with the other woman, but they fell out over money. This was the first time they’d met since.” Police are investigating.
