A 74-year-old Miami woman was arrested Wednesday after she tried to attack one of her neighbors with a wooden stool over a dispute about a package, authorities said.
According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, officers responded to the scene at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and found the suspect, G, being looked at by paramedics due to several scratches on her face.
Police said G claimed that she was assaulted by the victim after seeing the victim take a package from the mailbox that didn’t belong to her.
Police said G and a witness, who the package belonged to, confronted the victim, but the victim returned the package and said she only had it because it was delivered to the wrong address.
According to the report, video obtained by property management shows G walking on the sidewalk before running over to a small wooden stool chair, picking it up over her head and swinging it several times at the victim in a downward motion.
Police said the victim was able to take the stool away from G and then pulled her to the ground and held her down.
G claimed that the victim had punched her in the back before she picked up the stool, but the witness told police that G was never struck by the victim.
G was arrested on a charge of attempted aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
As of Thursday afternoon, she was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,000 bond.
