WARSAW (AFP) - Police in Poland said Monday they had arrested a drunken 48-year-old woman who was pushing her car while her intoxicated husband steered the vehicle with their three-year-old grandson on board.

The two grandparents were arrested Sunday evening with the broken-down on a busy main road near the middle of Bierun, a town in southern Poland, said police spokesman Marek Wreczycki.

Officers who carried out tests on the pair found that the grandmother had a level of 1.5 grammes of alcohol per litre of blood and the grandfather 1.0 gramme.

In comparison, blood-alcohol limit for drivers in Poland is 0.2 grammes per litre.

The pair could face up to five years in prison for endangering the life of their grandchild.

"Madam, why are you dragging that chain down the street?"

"Have you ever tried to PUSH one of these things?!"

“The two grandparents were arrested Sunday evening with the broken-down on a busy main road near the middle of Bierun,”
