Police thought jogger, 94, had escaped from nursing home

Norwegian police stopped a 94-year-old jogger because they thought she had escaped from a nursing home.

Officers who saw the woman in Bergen could not believe she was just exercising.

Sigrid Krohn de Lange told Norwegian radio station P4: "They thought I had escaped from a nursing home.

"A motorist had called the police to say there was a strange lady running. The police officer could not believe that such an old lady could be out jogging."

She managed to persuade the police officer she was not on the run but only out doing her regular exercise.

"I said there was nothing wrong with my head nor my legs. He had to check that I lived at the address I gave him. When that was clear I could continue my jogging," she added.
