In a dispute between neighbors, a man is said to have hit an elderly woman with a leaf blower.
The 49-year-old had intentionally disposed of leaves on the property of his 81-year-old neighbor in the Uckermark district on Friday, the police said on Monday. The woman then complained.
The neighbor is said to have struck as a result – and the woman defended herself with her walker. When her daughter rushed to help the woman, she is said to have been pushed aside by the 49-year-old neighbor.
The three involved suffered minor injuries in the altercation. The man is being investigated for dangerous bodily harm.
