Mom allegedly attacks 81-year-old woman who called her out for cutting in movie theater line
Police are searching for a mom
who allegedly grabbed an 81-year-old woman by the hair and dragged her
to the ground following a verbal altercation outside a movie theater on
Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
The elderly woman, who prefers to go unnamed, told NBC New York that she was waiting outside the AMC 84th Street 6 theater to buy a ticket for the movie Dumbo
when a mom and her two children seemed to cut the line. Though the
woman didn’t know whether or not the rude move was intentional, she did
want to speak up about it.

“I
went like this,” the woman said as she motioned with one finger to
demonstrate how she touched one of the children. “Just the gentlest
touch. I just went like that to her daughter.” The woman says that’s all
it took for the mom to become belligerent.
“Well, she just opened up her mouth,” the woman said. “She became so violent. I was just, like, shocked.”
She
said she tried to apologize to the mom, but that only seemed to provoke
her further. Eventually, the younger woman resorted to physical
violence.
The
woman said she felt someone come behind her and grab her by the hair.
“I just felt this dragging of my hair, and I felt myself go down and
crash,” the woman told NBC New York. She allegedly fell backwards,
hitting her head. She was soon taken to the hospital, where she was treated for dizziness, pain and swelling, according to a police report sent to Yahoo Lifestyle.
“They
X-rayed the thing and they said, thank goodness, there was no
bleeding,” the woman said. Doctors told her she was very lucky she
didn’t sustain a concussion.
The
mom and her children fled the theater, but police were able to capture
her on surveillance video wearing a red shirt, black leggings and red
sneakers, with a fanny pack around her waist.
“The individual is described as a female, Hispanic, long dark hair, mid 30′,” according to the police report.
The NYPD encourages anyone with information on the assault to contact its Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
