Brooklyn grandma viciously beaten after asking women to pick up their dogs’ poop

A 75-year-old Brooklyn grandmother was beaten and had her face stomped on in her own home’s front yard after asking two women to pick up their dogs’ poop, her distraught son said on Wednesday.

Linda Scott was attacked by a woman outside her President St. home near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights around 9 a.m. Monday, cops said.

Video obtained by the Daily News shows the victim arguing with a woman, whose two unleashed dogs run freely on the sidewalk nearby, when another woman wearing a red sweatshirt storms up and starts swinging. The attacker repeatedly punches the elderly victim until she collapses on her front lawn, then kicks her and stomps on her face, the video shows.

“My mom just asked the woman to clean up her dog poop,” the victim’s son, Michael Scott, told The News. “She’s 75 years old, man. Nothing warrants a beatdown like that.”

The victim’s son said a neighbor witnessed the assault and rushed to haul the attacker off his mother.

“If my neighbor didn’t step in, we’d be talking about a murder right now,” Michael Scott said.

Linda Scott was taken to Interfaith Medical Center, where doctors said she narrowly avoided suffering a heart attack due to the assault, her son said.

“Luckily, she wasn’t hit in the chest. She’s had two heart surgeries,” he said.

Shortly before the attack, the victim and her son were in their backyard arguing with two women, including Linda’s attacker, after the women’s dogs defecated in a vacant lot adjacent to the Scott family’s home.

That lot has sat empty and abandoned since a fire in 2011, according to the victim’s son.

“There’s cars on the lot, homeless encampments, people throw out needles there,” Michael Scott said. “All she asked them to do is make sure you clean up your mess.”

Michael said that after his mother confronted the dog owners, they accused her of squirting ammonia on the animals. His mother was dousing the lot in ammonia, Michael said, but only to keep wildlife away from the parcel.

“She didn’t throw it on them,” the victim’s son said. “It’s for the rats and raccoons.”

After the argument, Michael, an MTA train conductor, went into the house. But his mother went alone to their front yard to try and resolve the dispute, he said. The attack that followed was worse than anything he’s experienced in his 18 years in the transit system.

“I’ve been assaulted on my job, spat in my face, threatened, you name it,” he said. “What happened with my mother yesterday, she was just kicked, punched, beaten down.”
