"Linda Scott was attacked by a woman outside her President St. home near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights around 9 a.m. Monday, cops said. Video obtained by the Daily News shows the victim arguing with a woman, whose two unleashed dogs run freely on the sidewalk nearby, when another woman wearing a red sweatshirt storms up and starts swinging."
""My mom just asked the woman to clean up her dog poop," the victim's son, Michael Scott, told The News. "She's 75 years old, man. Nothing warrants a beatdown like that.""
""If my neighbor didn't step in, we'd be talking about a murder right now," Michael Scott said. Linda Scott was taken to Interfaith Medical Center, where doctors said she narrowly avoided suffering a heart attack due to the assault, her son said."
""There's cars on the lot, homeless encampments, people throw out needles there," Michael Scott said. "All she asked them to do is make sure you clean up your mess.""

The attack occurred in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where one woman punched Scott repeatedly, kicked her, and stomped on her face. A neighbor intervened, preventing further harm. Scott was hospitalized, narrowly avoiding a heart attack due to the assault. The incident stemmed from a confrontation over dog waste in an abandoned lot near her home, which has been a source of concern for the family.
