A beauty queen punched and kicked a would-be mugger who tried to take her handbag then headed off to a Miss Universe casting call.
Kirsty Grace, from Stockport, was in Birmingham for a casting call when a man approached her car and tried to grab her bag, reports MEN.
Kirsty, a practitioner of Krav Maga and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt, refused to hand over her bag, then punched he assailant in the face and kicked him in the knee.
The mugger fled, though much of the contents of Kirsty’s bag fell out into the road and a passing car crushed her phone.
Not deterred however, Kirsty made her casting call and was later accepted as a finalist in Miss Universe Great Britain.
