STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A daily trip to the grocery store took a horrific turn Monday for a Great Kills woman, who reportedly was attacked from behind by a man she had never met.
The victim’s son received a call at about 9 a.m. on Monday, explaining what happened.
“I got a call saying they had revived her, and she was confused,” said John Owen. “She goes to church, and she buys her groceries. It’s not like she would provoke anyone.”
Owen said his mother, who weighs about 90 pounds, made the trip nearly every morning from Great Kills to New Dorp on the Staten Island Railway. She’d buy a few groceries at the ShopRite on Hylan Boulevard and head back.
“She doesn’t own a cell phone, but she had remembered a few phone numbers,” said Owen. “They called her sister, and she called me.”
wen said his mother suffered broken ribs, a broken shoulder and non-life-threatening bleeding in her brain. She is expected to make a full recovery, but there’s no telling how long that will take.
“She’s got osteoporosis, so broken bones will take a long time to heal.”
