Another Quickie

Woman Has Heart Attack In South Boston Mugging

A 60-year-old woman had a heart attack after she was mugged in South Boston Thursday morning.

A man on a bike tried to take her bag at the inersection of West 5th and D Street around 5:15 a.m.

The woman was dragged and struck her head.

The man ran off with the bag, leaving his bike behind.

A doctor happened to be driving by and stopped to help the woman, who then had a heart attack.

She was rushed to Boston Medical Center.

Her condition is unknown.


How can that be? A defenseless women hospitalized after getting attacked and robbed by a violent criminal who knew the odds of her being able to resist the attack were near zero? Right here, on the streets of Mayor Menino's "safe city"? Utterly shocking!
