This is the terrifying moment a grandmother was decapitated by a dangerous neighbor after a row over dog poo.
Shocking footage shows 75-year-old Linda Scott arguing with a dog owner when the woman suddenly launches a brutal attack.
The young woman wearing a red hoodie delivers a flurry of punches and kicks at the pensioner, knocking him to the ground.
As Scott lies helplessly on the floor, his attacker continues the frenzied attack by stomping on his head.
The chaotic brawl unfolded just outside Scott’s home in Crown Heights, New York on Monday, according to Ring camera footage.
Scott’s neighbor, a Navy vet who identified himself as Mr. Barnett, 37, had just parked his car when he saw a “commotion” in front of the senior’s house.

“It seemed like it was a dispute over dog poop or whatever…a yelling game back and forth,” Barnett said. New York Post.
Adding: “(When) the young lady in the red dress came around the corner…I knew by the way she came up to Miss Linda that she was going to do something to her.”
Barnett remembered Scott’s “painful scream” as she lay on the floor.
He said: “She was screaming, like it was an anguished scream, like she was in pain.”
The heroic neighbor managed to pull the dog walker off Scott and carry him off the front lawn.
Scott was taken to One Brooklyn Health-Interfaith Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition despite serious injuries to his body and face.
Barnett said he hoped the attacker would “do the right thing” and turn himself in.
“(It) could have easily been negotiated,” he said.
Adding: “It doesn’t look good for the next generation coming up. Like, it’s not a great example.”
The clip shows that just before the brutal attack, a woman accused Scott of throwing ammonia on her dog.
Scott admitted to pouring ammonia into a vacant lot next to his home.
He said the space is often used by dog owners who do not clean up their pet’s mess, leading to a foul smell. News 12 has reported.
Her son, Matthew Scott, told the outlet that his mother never used cleaning fluid “as a weapon.”
Recalling the scary incident, Scott said: “The young lady had no right to beat me like that.
“There is no justification for beating up me or any other old man like him. Any. Period.”
Despite his injuries, Scott said he is grateful to still be here.
She said, “God willing I’ll still be here for a while. I’ve got some grandchildren to take care of.”
Police said that the attacker was still on the loose on Friday.
