The violent beating that a 74-year-old woman received in the vicinity of the San Martín Hospital generated great consternation and indignation on the afternoon of last Friday and although little was known about the savage attack, the victim herself revealed to 0221.com.ar What was it that motivated the attacker’s outburst of rage?
“As I said in the police report, the identity of the attacker is unknown, not the attacker”explained to 0221.com.ar Olga Bridgesthe woman who, as can be seen in the video, received several blows to the face in the midst of a fierce attack that, until now, seemed to have come out of nowhere.
The woman explained that she does not know the name of her attacker, but she knows perfectly well who he is since some time ago he did unsuccessful work at home and had a strong discussion with her when she tried to charge him again for the arrangement that he had done wrong at first. “He got angry when I didn’t think it was right to pay him again,” Puentes told this medium and revealed what motivated the wild reaction when they both crossed paths again on the street, at 67 between 3 and 4.
“When we passed each other that day I said something like ‘thief, you’re still around!'”, revealed the retiree and added that it was then that he turned around with the bicycle and unleashed all his fury on her. “Then she fled, like any coward in defense of a stranger whom she surely did not see,” the woman closed.
THE FIERCE BEATING
“The attacker, as can be seen in the video, was riding a bicycle with a basket in the front where he carried his pet, a white poodle. He is extremely aggressive and dangerous”the victim of the surprise street attack had told him to 0221.com.ar. The woman then explained that the man had already attacked other residents of the area, where he is usually seen; although no one knows for sure what his first and last name is.
The woman filed the complaint at the Novena police station last Sunday, a day after being attacked and had asked to spread the images to help recognize him.
The scene seen in the video captured by a private security camera is extremely violent. The cyclist is seen passing close to the woman who is walking on the sidewalk and suddenly returns to approach her and hit her. The woman does not leave her astonishment and ends up lying on the floor. It is also observed that the attacker picks up the poodle dog he is walking with and places it in the basket of the bicycle, while another neighbor approaches to try to help the victim, until the attacker finally leaves the place.
