A former Houston caretaker is accused of severely injuring an elderly woman inside an Atascocita assisted living facility, police say.
Katiuscia Martinez, 43, is allegedly seen on surveillance video pushing an 88-year-old woman to the ground while the woman was eating inside the Autumn Grove Cottage in the 5500 block of Atascocita Boulevard on Monday. Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said the woman suffered a head injury and was treated on scene.
“The video really makes me mad,” Herman said. “You see a bunch of elderly people eating in a lunchroom setting, and the person who actually works at the facility walks up to this 88-year-old female and basically forces her out of a chair, stands her up, and at some point, she ends up pushing the 88-year-old to the ground backwards.”
