Disturbing video shows the beating at a Beatties Ford bus stop at 12:30 Sunday night.
“The swelling is going down so I’m trying to feel a little better,” said Altavia Gill, holding an ice pack to her face.
Gill, 48, says she was blindsided and attacked.
“I’m thinking he is walking by and he hit me, boom,” said Gill.
The mother and grandmother of three was catching the last bus home after visiting with friends when the attack happened.
“It just all happened so fast. It stunned me,” said Gill.
She said they fought for several minutes until he pinned her face down on the ground. Her head was hitting the concrete. She says she couldn’t see anything, but could only hear the shouts of bystanders.
