Hateful teens filmed stealing elderly woman’s cane then battering her with it
The 67 year-old was forced to the ground and bludgeoned with her own mobility aid
A gang of violent teenagers were filmed trying to yank an elderly woman’s cane off her – before battering her with it after succeeding.
The group – made up of two boys and two girls – could be seen pulling at the 67 year-old’s mobility aid as she walked through the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, New York, on August 4.
Despite being totally outnumbered, the victim made a valiant attempt to hold on to her property.
But she was eventually overpowered by the posse.
They seized the cane from their victim, shoved her to the ground, grabbed her cell phone, and began battering the woman with the stick while she was on her knees.
After mugging and assaulting the victim, the group then fled in a late model Nissan Altima.
The woman escaped serious injury, with the New York Police Department now appealing for eyewitnesses and tips on the horrific crime.
