A 79-year-old woman was brutally assaulted by a young girl in the lobby of her Manhattan apartment building. The victim, Claudia Connor, stated she has never witnessed such violence from a child.
A 79-year-old woman was assaulted in the lobby of her Manhattan apartment building by a young girl who followed her inside Monday and unleashed a flurry of punches. Claudia Connor, a retired mental health professional, recounted the cruel attack in her West 17th Street apartment building to The Post — saying she’s “never seen a child do that.” Connor, 79, tells The Post that a group of kids were rough-housing in front of her building when she was returning home from a walk with her dog.
Connor was heading back home around 11:50 a.m. after walking her dog when she encountered a group of youngsters “play fighting” in front of her Chelsea building. “There were about four of them and a number of kids on the steps already,” Connor said. “I told them to leave.” The septuagenarian and her small dog made their way inside the building and initially prevented the troublemakers from pursuing the confrontation any further. But one boy and one girl from the group forced their way in as a neighbor opened the inner lobby door. “I tried to get them to leave and the girl punched me in the head a number of times,” Connor recounted, estimating she could’ve been hit “20 times” but “wasn’t counting.” A girl from the group was able to get into the interior of the building and assaulted Connor, punching her “20 times.”“The boy tried to get her to leave but she was not having it,” Connor said. “It just got too much. I’ve never seen anything like that.”“We’ve been through hell with these kids,” she said. The apartment building is across the street from NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies, though it is not clear if her young assailant is a student at the high school. “I think this is a child who herself has been punched in the head many times. I’ve never seen a child do that,” said Conno
