A Bronx bodega worker was bashed in the head with a “sledgehammer” in a fight over a hookah – leaving her so battered she’s ashamed to let her children see her, she told The Post.

Oralia Perez, 41, was working at A&D Deli Grocery on East 188th Street in Fordham Heights around 10:08 a.m. Saturday when a man and woman came in and demanded a refund for a $30 hookah, according to the victim and police.

She recognized the couple as the same pair that allegedly stole $40 worth of items from the bodega two days earlier, Perez told The Post Tuesday morning.

“They came up to me and told me they wanted their money back. It was a couple. I told them, ‘how could you want your money back if you stole all those things?’” Perez recalled.

It will be interesting to see how bad things need to get before people say Bastante!

I guess it takes hammers to the head for democrats to see the light...maybe!

I guess she asked for a receipt, anyway "Escape from New York" is becoming true, some 40 years after the movie.

Prayers for her recovery.

Oh, a NY resident is again attacked by a downtrodden, misunderstood carreer criminal, 27 dismissed priors, who just illegally crossed the border for the 19th time but got a free ticket to NCY and a bag of gift cards for his troubles?

Is that news?

“ The man and woman suspects — who have not been identified”

Calling all cars, calling all car. Be on the lookout for a man and a woman.

“ The man and woman suspects — who have not been identified

Great! So now NYPD will have to have biologists do ride-alongs so they can identify the man and woman as a man and a woman…..otherwise, how would anyone know?

The sad thing is, hardscrabble people like this who may even have favored Trump are victims of the decisions of the wealthy elites who snubbed their noses at Trump, at law and order, at police, any of the the little people without private security, etc.

At least she wasn’t dragged off to Riker’s Island like that other Bodega worker so she’s got that going for her.

[TonyinLA]

Agreed. Lucky she didn’t try to defend herself. She’d really be up the creek.
