A woman who was pushed down stairs, punched, and robbed outside a church in New York City is now out of the ICU and starting to speak. The incident occurred on April 7 and a 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the attack.
NEW YORK -- The family of a woman who suffered a fractured skull after being pushed down stairs outside a New York City church said Friday she's out of the ICU and starting to string together sentences. The woman, 68, was pushed, punched and robbed while entering Saint Demetrios Church in Queens on April 7. Her car was stolen and then recovered after police arrested a 16-year-old boy for the attack.
CBS New York obtained exclusive video of the suspect running away with the woman's purse, which police said contained $300, her cellphone, credit card and car keys. Police said the suspect fled in her 2006 Nissan Altima. A neighbor who knows the woman described her as sweet and quiet. 'It makes me think about my own mom, you know. My mom is getting older, so when she's walking by herself and something like that could happen to her, yeah, it hits home,' said Jorge Canales.
