An apparently loony, lefty political worker handing out campaign leaflets for a DSA candidate in Brooklyn was arrested after allegedly punching and beating a 98-year-old man with a broomstick and metal chair in a crazed dispute over the reelection flyers, police said.
Tashara Abel was stuffing reelection flyers into mailboxes in the lobby of a building at Maple Street and Rogers Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens when the nonagenarian walked in around 4 p.m. Thursday, cops said.
The two began beefing over the handouts for candidate and Democratic Socialists of America member and New York State Committee Member Anthony Beckford’s June 23 primary run, cops and neighbors said. Beckford is running for re-election as a Democratic district leader.
Abel, 27, allegedly repeatedly punched and kicked the older man before striking him with the broomstick and chair polices aid.
The victim was treated on the scene for minor head injuries and declined to go to the hospital.
Abel was charged with three counts of assault, burglary and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.
Her arraignment before a judge was pending Saturday.
She has no prior arrests, a police source said.
Beckford’s campaign was reviewing the incident, he said in a statement.
“I am currently reviewing the situation to better understand the full circumstances, and I have personally reached out to the voter involved to ensure he is doing well and has the support he needs,” according to the statement shared with CBS NY.
“While volunteers may operate independently, anyone associated with my campaign is expected to conduct themselves with respect and professionalism at all times, and if it is determined that an individual connected to my campaign acted inappropriately, appropriate action will be taken,” the statement reads.

"The woman was arrested on Friday afternoon and charged with assault, cops said."
Charge her with Assault, Battery, and Attempted Murder.
…due to his age.
Democrats=nest of demons.
“”Tashara””
NOT going to look!!!!!!
The headgear might have been the first clue that this person would not conduct themselves with "respect and professionalism at all times".
Nothing says Vote Socialism! like a good beat down....by the usual suspect thugs.
Prayers up for the old guy. He sounds pretty tough.
Softening the "warmth". Good thing she was only loony and not bloodthirsty.
“loony, lefty” — no need to be redundant
So many questions. Was she a volunteer? Was she a paid volunteer? How much were the socialists paying her? Is the candidate and/or the DSA liable for her behavior?
Stuffing flyers into mailboxes?
Federal offense.
“Yep, it figures, Yogi. Zero impulse control.”

I’m not blaming the innocent victim. But it’s not Eisenhower’s America anymore. A good portion of folks walking the streets today have a hair trigger, and will attack if they feel “disrespected”.
Although it’s sometimes unavoidable, try not let them draw you into a disagreement of any kind. It’s not your job to set the world straight. That’s what I tell my younger relatives.
98 years old, gets beaten with hard objects, and doesn’t go to the hospital. That is one tough old coot!
Oh, Tashara, how could you!
> That is one tough old coot! <
Given his age, he could be WW2 vet.
I am guessing that the old man was white. and because of that, Tashera saw red. Is she still working for this candidate?
They seem hell bent on becoming the DEMONRAT Party!
A broomstick, huh!
Is she a witch?
Is she a witch?
Does she weigh as much as a duck?
