WILLIAMSBURG — A man attacked his elderly grandmother who was visiting from South Carolina, striking her on the face with an object that cut her forehead and sent her tumbling to the ground, police and prosecutors said.
"You never did anything for me," 36-year-old Anthony Caines yelled before the Jan. 31 attack that took place inside an apartment on Wythe Ave., police said.
He then proceeded to whip his grandmother across the forehead with some kind of an object that left a gash on her forehead, according to prosecutors.
The 78-year-old woman tumbled to the ground and was later rushed to Woodhull Hospital where she needed stitches and was treated for pain in other parts of her body from the fall, according to prosecutors.
Caines, who has a pending assault charge stemming from a late night brawl that took place in December at Metropolitan and Bedford avenues, was arrested Monday for the most recent attack.
Prosecutors charged him with assault and menacing charges, records show. He is being held at Rikers, court records show. He's due back in court on Feb. 5.
