Disabled mum hurt by brick thrown through window

A DISABLED mum was left bleeding when a brick crashed through her window and insult was added to injury when she had to wait 10 WEEKS for it to be replaced.

ANGER: Andrew Mitchell and Jacqueline Crawford.

Jacqueline Crawford, 42, was rushed to hospital after a thug smashed the glass at her Larkfield flat in November.

Her three-inch head wound has since healed but her living room window was still boarded up when she spoke to the Tele on Wednesday.

Landlords River Clyde Homes (RCH), who finally fixed the window the following day, have apologised for the lengthy delay.

Ms Crawford, who has epilepsy, recalled the frightening window smash incident to the Tele.

She said: I was sitting watching the news at about 6.15pm and my dog Casper started barking.

I told her to stop it as there was no one there, and then a brick came through the window.

I got a split head and a cut to my leg and had to go to hospital.
