DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- WFTV spoke with a 70-year-old woman Wednesday who put a carjacker in a headlock. The man tried to steal her minivan Tuesday in Daytona Beach while she loaded her groceries. However, Elludee Haliday wasn't willing to give up her van.“You don't have time to think.You have to do the best you can to survive,” Haliday said.Haliday has five stints in her heart, but she is an active 70-year-old nurse. So, it's no surprise to her that instinct took over when police say the man tried to carjack her at the Walmart on Beville Road Tuesday in broad daylight.

Big props to this lady!!! Its good to see that there're people who are willing to fight for their property, and not hand it over to some punk. Sure, this lady could've been hurt, but thats the chance she was willing to take.

Just goes to show, when you think you may have an easy target, look out...the tables can easily be turned.

If only everyone took that approach.
