Grandson, 6, runs for help after gran king hit
A man has been arrested following the horrific alleged assault on grandmother in a Sydney park.
Police allege the man, 52, punched the 71-year-old woman in the head while she was out with her six-year-old grandson at a park in Strathfield on Thursday, before fleeing the scene.
Emergency services were called to the park on Francis St about 12.10pm following reports of the assault, NSW Police said in a statement.
“She was found with significant injuries and was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a critical condition,” a police spokesperson said.
“Police established a crime scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
“The man and woman are not known to each other.”
It is understood the woman remains in a critical condition.
