ABC13 Eyewitness News
(03/03/05 - HOUSTON) — Pasadena police are hoping surveillance video will help them identify a man who attacked a senior citizen working at Wal-Mart.

Shirley Barker, 68, works as a greeter, saying hello to customers walking in and checking the receipts of customers walking out. Last Saturday morning, a man ruined her day early.

"He approached. He walked by. He just rolled up his fist and then just went pow," said Barker, demonstrating a punch. "He said nothing to me at all."

Barker says she spit blood for three days and had bruises all over her face. She's home on sick leave for now, but she says she's not scared to return to work.

As for the suspect, police have him on Wal-Mart's security cameras, but they're not releasing the video to the public.

They say the suspect and another man left the parking lot in a dark green Pontiac Grand Am with a partial Texas license plate of 8BFL.

1. Geez.
It should be easy to track down the vehicle with the partial plate.

6. That is just wrong.
Why would you do that to a regular person? He should be sued and thrown in jail.

7. So a MAN punches a 68 (!) year old WOMAN in the face for
what appears to be no reason.

Justice will be served when they catch him. Even his buddies will kicking his cowardly pussy ass for such a move.
