13-Year-Old Girl Arrested in Hip-Breaking Attack on 76-Year-Old NYC Woman

Surveillance video showed the attackers laughing and smirking as the 76-year-old woman was violently thrown to the ground, breaking her hip

A 13-year-old girl who was allegedly the "main aggressor" in the violent robbery of a 76-year-old woman who tried to fend off three people as they fought to get in the front door of her Bronx apartment building earlier this week has been arrested, a police source with direct knowledge of the case said Wednesday.

The girl is accused of robbery and assault in Monday's hip-fracturing attack on the woman at her Pelham Bay building, near Roberts and Hobart avenues, weren't immediately clear.

Surveillance video obtained earlier this week shows the woman struggling to keep the front door of her building closed, but the attackers were able to force their way in.

One grabs the woman's purse, spins her and throws her to the ground, a fall which broke the woman's hip. After she falls, another suspect is seen smirking on camera. They took off out the front door with her purse, which had about $50 and her wallet, along with a debit card and insurance cards inside, authorities have said.

ladies who would never even think of doing such a thing. They are kind, helpful and respectful. It's not like they have never had their bratty moments, but they would never be deliberately cruel to an innocent person.

It is how they are raised and I blame the parents as well, but the child assumes some responsibility. She had a choice and she is a budding psychopath unless she is nipped in the bud.
