A 70-year old mother is bloodied, but thankful to be alive after being attacked in her own home in Winnipeg.
CBC reports the incident happened when Nho Nguyen heard someone kicking on her door. When the kicking stopped, she opened it up to check the damage.
That’s when she says a woman barged in, grabbing her hair and punching and kicking her face.
“She lives in this house alone,” said her daughter Linda Huynh who posted photos of her mom on Instagram. “I’m just kind of begging our neighbors to really look out for one another,” said Linda to City News.
