"Based on a preliminary investigation, police learned that a 95-year-old woman suffering from severe dementia became embroiled in an argument with 89-year-old Nina Kracstov inside the facility, where they live. The argument turned physical, cops said, when the nonagenarian picked up a metal object - believed to be part of a wheelchair - and bludgeoned Kracstov over the head with it."
"Officers from the 60th Precinct responded to the incident. EMS rushed Kracstov to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. The 95-year-old woman, meanwhile, was brought to NYC Health+Hospitals/South Brooklyn Health to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Sources familiar with the case believe her dementia played a role in sparking the violent attack. It is not clear whether the woman will be criminally charged at this time; the investigation remains ongoing."
