Horrific video shows the sickening moment an elderly Seattle woman had her eye gouged out after being indiscriminately struck in the head with a board by a “notorious” repeat offender.
The accused perp, Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42, is said to have attacked Jeanette Marken, 75, with a piece of wood that was covered in bolts and screws earlier this month, leaving her permanently blind in her right eye, according to KOMO. As the victim patiently waited to cross the street outside the King County Courthouse, the terrifying video from downtown Seattle showed the assailant creeping up behind her.
The violent perpetrator struck his victim with the piece of wood as hard as he could with both hands before casually walking away. Horrified witnesses hurried to assist the victim, who was seen clutching her face.
