Calgary police charged a woman with assault after they say she hit a 92-year-old woman in an “unprovoked” attack. <\/p>\n

It happened just before 5 p.m. on Oct. 6, according to a police news release.<\/p>\n

Police say at the time, the elderly woman was walking with a friend along the 200 block of 15th Avenue S.E.<\/p>\n

Then, police say a woman that the pair did not know approached them, hit the 92-year-old woman in the face and ran away. The victim suffered minor injuries. <\/p>\n

Several days later, on Oct. 10, police arrested a 59-year-old woman. She is charged with assault and is due in court Wednesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe randomness of this assault against an elderly woman who was out enjoying an afternoon walk is extremely concerning,\u201d Staff Sgt. Mike Sushelnitsky said in a statement. “Everyone deserves to feel safe in our city.” <\/p>\n
