The suspect first approached a 50-year-old woman at Kings Highway and Avenue O in East Midwood at 6 p.m. March 30.
A Brooklyn woman has been busted for allegedly hurling a racial slur at a stranger and slapping her – and then bashing another woman with a hard object days later, according to cops and court docs.
Linette Difrancesco, 54, was nabbed on April 7 in connection to both attacks, authorities said late Thursday. Difrancesco first approached a 50-year-old woman at Kings Highway and Avenue O in East Midwood around 6 p.m. March 30 and snarled, “You f–king black piece of trash, that’s what you are!” according to cops and a criminal complaint.
Difrancesco then smacked the victim across the face without provocation – as she held a piece of paper in her hand, the complaint said. Difrancesco was charged with assault and attempted assault – both as hate crimes, according to the court doc. Linette Difrancesco, 54, is seen in a grab from surveillance footage near the scene of the hate crime assault.
She was charged with menacing and harassment – but released during that arraignment because the charges weren’t bail-eligible, prosecutors said.
