The pair were arguing about money before the grandson attacked his 78-year-old grandmother.
A New York man allegedly gouged his grandmother’s eyes and left her blind during an argument about money, according to officials.
Outside the neighbor’s home, Grief used his fingers to gouge his grandmother’s eyes one at a time “with such force that the globes of her eyes ruptured,” Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini told a press conference on Wednesday. The woman was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital, and underwent eight hours of surgery, the hospital told Tribune Media. There is a less than 1 percent change she will have her vision back, Sini said.
Grief was charged with first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault, Patch reported. He was arraigned on an indictment on Wednesday, and had his bail set at $500,000. He will appear in court on March 15."I heard yelling and screaming sometimes they would fight and stuff, and then one of the neighbors that lived here years ago said that they always fought," he said.
