Churchgoer Slashed Outside Brownsville Home After Greeting Her Attacker

A Brownsville senior was attacked while waiting for a ride to church after what she says began as a friendly interaction with a stranger.

An 83-year-old woman says a simple greeting led to a violent attack outside her Brownsville apartment building Sunday morning as she waited for an Uber on her way to church. Betty Ellerbe said she noticed a man loitering near Glenmore and Christopher avenues before he suddenly slashed her in the neck. "I looked at his hand and saw the big stick and I looked at his face and then in the other hand a big knife," she said. Ellerbe said she had tried to be friendly. More of this from ABC Eyewitness News.
