Hackensack PD
There is justice after all, at least in the case of the woman who viciously attacked an elderly woman inside a store … all over — you guessed it — masks.
25-year-old Terri Thomas was arrested in Hackensack, NJ for aggravated assault after video surfaced, allegedly showing her attack the lady at a STAPLES who’d asked her to pull up her mask over mouth…. which sent Thomas into a rage.
The surveillance video shows the assault clear as day — cops say it depicts Thomas circling back to the woman — a 54-year-old who recently had a liver transplant. The older woman tries to fend her off with her cane, but it backfired.
The suspect grabbed the woman’s cane and tossed her like a rag doll … leaving the woman on the ground and writhing in pain as the suspect stormed out, mask half hanging off her mug. Cops say the woman suffered a fractured leg and required surgery.
We’ve been seeing these types of face-offs way too often lately — people telling others they should follow safety guidelines and wear face coverings, only to be cussed out, accosted, threatened, and in some cases … outright injured for doing the right thing.
Let the strange times roll.
