I agree attacks can come from anywhere. I however think that an elderly person with a cane attacking you allows you options that an able bodied attacker would not.
That being said over here we have the disparity of force theory. In the event of a shooting, the courts will consider the size and weapon of the attacker, as well as age etc.
One would have a lot of explaining to do if a situation like this escalates into a shooting.
You ok, you did the right thing. Lay charges of intimidation/assault against the old guy
