(KRON) -- A Fremont resident is recovering from severe brain injuries, skull fractures and rib fractures following an altercation outside her home on Sept. 30. Elsei Arling was hospitalized for seven days after a neighbor snatched her phone and threw her to the pavement at approximately 7:30 p.m. The attack was captured on home security footage from Arling's residence. Arling, who works in hospice care, returned home on a Saturday after being treated in an intensive care unit. She sustained lower-body trauma and multiple concussions as a result of the violent encounter. Security video recorded the moment the neighbor's tenant grabbed Elsei Arling's mobile device before throwing her to the ground. A vehicle then arrived, and the driver confronted the suspect. The footage captured the sound of the suspect smashing Arling's phone on the pavement. Arling noted that the suspect had exhibited aggressive behavior before the assault, including shouting at her neighbor. “She said she's scared she even called me and sometimes said there are sometimes for him to throw things in my room,” Arling said regarding previous interactions with the neighbor. 2 retired SFPD officers, daughter killed in suspected murder-suicide Following the attack, Arling woke up in the hospital intensive care unit with no memory of the event itself.
