NYPD detectives have released an image of the woman who mercilessly beat a 75-year-old Brooklyn grandmother<\/a> after asking the suspect and her friend to pick up their dog\u2019s poop, police said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Police are hoping someone will recognize the woman, who was wearing a red sweatshirt with white lettering on it during Monday\u2019s attack on President St.<\/a>\u00a0near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights.<\/p>\n

Linda Scott was outside her home at about 9 a.m. when she got into an argument with two women with two unleashed dogs.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn grandmother was upset that the women were allowing their dogs to defecate in an empty lot next to her property and hadn\u2019t picked up the dog poop, her son told the Daily News.<\/p>\n

Video obtained by The News shows the victim arguing with the dog owner when the woman in red storms up and starts swinging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The attacker\u00a0repeatedly punches<\/a>\u00a0the elderly victim until she collapses on her front lawn, then kicks her and stomps on her face, the video shows.<\/p>\n

A neighbor witnessed the horrific attack rushed over to intervene, Scott\u2019s son Michael Scott told The News.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf my neighbor didn\u2019t step in, we\u2019d be talking about a murder right now,\u201d Michael Scott said. \u201cMy mom just asked the woman to clean up her dog poop. She\u2019s 75 years old, man. Nothing warrants a beatdown like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman in red stormed off after the fight. She was last seen heading east on President St. and remained at large Saturday.<\/p>\n

Scott was repeatedly punched in the face and body. She suffered injuries to her face and left shoulder and was taken to Interfaith Medical Center<\/a> for treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, she wasn\u2019t hit in the chest. She\u2019s had two heart surgeries,\u201d her son said.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the attack, the victim and her son were in their backyard arguing with two women, including Linda\u2019s attacker, after the women\u2019s dogs defecated in a vacant lot adjacent to the Scott family\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

That lot has sat empty and abandoned since a fire in 2011, according to the victim\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t throw it on them,\u201d the victim\u2019s son said. \u201cIt\u2019s for the rats and raccoons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cops are asking anyone with information regarding the attacker to come forward. Calls can be made to NYPD Crime Stoppers<\/a> at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYPD detectives have released an image of the woman who mercilessly beat a 75-year-old Brooklyn grandmother after asking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,265],"class_list":["post-193414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
