A TEENAGE brown belt has saved her mother from a Taser-wielding junkie. Rebecca Kelly, 13, ran and jumped on the back of James Cordingley, 29, as he was trying to drag her mum, Diane, from their car. Mr Kelly, who was asleep in the passenger seat after drinking at a wake, eventually woke up and held Cordingley down while Rebecca ran to her karate centre to get the help of three friends, all black belts, the Daily Mail reported. "I was really scared but in my head I was working out all the moves I could do to protect us," Rebecca, who was zapped but unhurt by Cordingley during the attack, said.
The friends held down Cordingley until police arrived. He has been sentenced to seven years' jail.
Rebecca's parents bought her some new runners to thank her for her courage.
