A 75-year-old grandmother was brutally beaten outside her New York City home after she asked her neighbor to pick up after their dog.
Linda Scott was viciously stomped and punched in her front yard following the confrontation at around 9am on April 6, according to the New York Post.
A doorbell camera captured Scott arguing with the dog owner before another woman in a red sweatshirt came in swinging violently at the grandmother.
While Scott was on the ground, the attacker continued to land multiple punches on the elderly woman's head and proceeded to stomp at least twice on her face.
The assault only stopped when a Navy vet neighbor intervened.
Scott recalled fearing for her life during the brutal attack and said she was thinking: 'God, I hope I live.'
'I tried to call 911. I think I had them on the open phone number, you know, but I couldn't do it because I just was shaking too much,' she added.
Scott sustained heavy bruising to her face and body and was taken to the hospital where she remained for two days.

Them...Avoid THEM.
I swear I would be going door to door for dog shit donations, and send it right through their living room window with a bucket of warm water. I would. Rinse and repeat till they left the neighborhood.
The attacker is the type that voted for Mamdani. Just goes to show you what has become of NYC.
Where do you live if I may ask.?
It's in the posted excerpt: "A doorbell camera captured Scott arguing with the dog owner before another woman in a red sweatshirt came in swinging violently at the grandmother."
It seems it was an unrelated stranger passing by, who decided to do some spontaneous "acting out" - which makes it all the worse. I'm just wondering why the dog owner did not interfere and another neighbor had to help.
Thank you for that explanation. There are so many evil people in this world right now.
I hear ya, I would help.
We tried to warn them. Now it’s time for the rest to leave NYC, we left in ‘68. Thanks to my real “Wise Latina” mom. May God rest her soul!
You’re welcome. Yes, much evil out there. Stay safe!
