Ida Brown
A pensioner with leukaemia who was left with horrific bruises when two thieves tried to steal her disability scooter has thanked her community for rallying round to help her.
Ida Brown, 79, has been showered with gifts, flowers and messages of support and given hot meals after she was attacked by the men outside her back door in Dunston, Gateshead.
After Northumbria Police released horrific pictures of the bruising to her face, there was a public outcry and offers of help flooded in.
Ms Brown, who lives with her cats Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, did not sustain any long-term injuries but she has felt too scared to leave her home since the attack at 5.30am on February 28.
