Cellphone video captured the beating and robbery of an elderly woman by a group of teenagers in Texas.
Margaret Schultz told KENS-TV that she was walking to an H-E-B grocery store when she was attacked by a group of teenagers on Valentine’s Day.
The video shows the thugs surrounding the 78-year-old and then throwing her to the ground.
“They were in the corner and they just stood up and they got me from here and yanked me down. That scared me because I didn’t know what was going on,” she said.
The attack happened at about 4:30 p.m. on West Cesar Chavez Boulevard according to San Antonio police.
Schultz said she was going to the store to buy dog food. She lives with her sister in a home near the location of the attack.
“I’ve been walking for a long time. I go to H-E-B. I go to Humana,” she said. “I know how to drive but I don’t have a car. I wish I had a car.”
Someone saw the attack and called the police. Schultz said that they stole an envelope with $900 inside from her.
Police are asking for help from the public in order to identify the suspects in the attack.
“They could have killed me,” said Shultz.
She said that the incident would not prevent her from continuing to walk in the area. She also had a final message for the teens who attacked her.
“I’m hurting and I’m still hurting right now,” Schultz said. “If you want something the people can give them something. It’s better than to hurt a person.”
She told KENS that she believed she had seen one of the teenagers before the violent incident.
