I just saw a man hit and push a woman outside my home. I am terrified right now and cannot stop shaking. I want to cry. I feel horrible.
I heard arguing coming from outside the building next door. It began with two ME women, older, and an older ME man (they all seemed to be in their 50s/60s). He was screaming and yelling and reaching his arms up to the sky, and intimidating the women getting in their faces and the two women were trying to calm him down. It appeared. I could see everything from my window upstairs. I ran downstairs outside to make sure the women were ok. I had my cell with me ready to call for help.
The arguing continued but it was just screaming and talking wildly in a foreign language. Nothing I could do. The police will not come for that...they have been asking callers lately if there is a weapon involved
I went back upstairs and continued to look after the women -assess the situation- the one woman had her arms up, palms facing the man in a defensive posture, trying to calm him down.
All of the sudden, he hit her and pushed her!! She groaned and bent over / down. I called 911 immediately and talked to the dispatcher describing the situation. She had me on the phone with her the whole time. The man continued to scream and yell. The police were in their way. Thankfully my neighbor came out and was able to get the full plate number on his car. She then began talking to the dispatcher.
A minute later, he sped off in his car down the street. The two women started walking down the road in the opposite direction. The police had already arrived and got to the women....the detective came up to my neighbor and me and I talked to him for a few seconds. I explained what I witnessed . I know I sounded shocked " he hit her! I saw him hit her!!" Thankfully, they had abuser's plates. A helicopter flew over a second or two later heading off into his direction.
I hope they catch him. I hope he gets arrested. I just feel awful.
I hate that I saw that. I hate that I saw a man hit a woman...he was out of control. I close my eyes and keep seeing him hit her
For gods sake, what the hell is wrong with people!!
even worse, dollars to donuts those women will make excuses for him and wont press charges.
