On Thursday night, a burglar broke into the wrong New York home.

Around 11:00 — just as Willie Murphy was getting ready for bed — a man began banging on her door.

He claimed to be in need of an ambulance — “I’m sick! I’m sick!”

Willie told Rochester’s WHAM-TV that she called the police but wouldn’t let the man in — which angered him.

Then:

“I hear a loud noise. I’m thinking, ‘What the heck was that?’ The young man is in my home. He broke the door.”

What’s an 82-year-old to do?

The man, in fact, was the numerical reverse of Willie: He was 28.

Man in his prime vs. woman in her senior years…who ya got??

The lady had a secret weapon:

“I”m alone and I’m old, but guess what? I’m tough.”

She’s not kidding — as it turns out, the man picked the home of an award-winning bodybuilder.

Octogenarian Willie can deadlift almost 250.
