An elderly Lexington woman was attacked in her home when she refused to give money to a woman at her door.
It happened on Floral Park. Thomas Coffey, a friend of the the victim, was on the phone with her when it happened. Police say an elderly woman opened her door to a stranger who pushed her way inside the home.
Coffey says the woman who lives at the home is his late friend’s mother.

“While I was on the phone with her on the way over here I heard her saying, ‘you’re not gonna take my money,’ and the girl was hollering back, ‘give me that money, give me that money,'” says Coffey
Once inside, police say the suspect tried to get her hands on some money-but the victim wouldn’t allow it.
“She hung on for dear life to that money and I love for and I love her for her strength,” says Coffey.
Getting nowhere with the cash, police say the thief left. Once crews arrived, the victim was taken to the hospital for hand injury, which police say resulted from the struggle.
