#1 Presumably the old man will be charged with assault and battery.

#2 Personally, I'd give him a medal. The burglar should be forced to work at minimum wage to pay for his hospitalization. Maybe they can sentence him to community service taking care of the gardens of retired boxers.

#3 Nope
McCalium, a barman, was given a four-and-a-half year prison sentence at Oxford Crown Court on Monday for aggravated burglary and was told by the judge he had "got what he deserved".

#4 John, that just talks about what happened to the robber. That brute of a pensioner who attacked the poor lad may be facing separate charges.
