HORRIFIC: Elderly Seattle woman has eye gouged out in random attack by repeat thug — as cops admit ‘he’s notorious’

3

From the New York Post: Sickening footage shows the moment an elderly woman had her eye gouged out after she was randomly bashed in the head with a board by a “notorious” repeat-offender thug.

Jeanette Marken, 75, was permanently blinded after the alleged perp, Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42, struck her with a piece of wood riddled with bolts and screws in downtown Seattle earlier this month, KOMO reported.

The horrifying clip captured the attacker approaching the unsuspecting woman from behind as she waited patiently to cross the street just outside the King County Courthouse.

The violent offender used both hands to swing the piece of wood as hard as possible, bashing his victim and then calmly strolling away.

After the attack, horrified bystanders rushed to help the woman and called 911. She was reportedly rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery.

When police later arrested the thug, they are heard on body cam footage making comments indicating that they recognized him as someone already well-known for making random assaults in the area.

One officer is heard asking, “Is that Fale Pea?”

According to court records, Fale Pea had multiple arrests for assault, including stabbing one person 8 times at a party.

A GoFundMe account set up to help Marken has raised nearly $37,000 so far.

A statement on the GoFundMe account includes more details of the horrific attack:

Help me see my mom smile again.

My mom has always been the kindest and most thoughtful person I know. She is the type of person who always found a reason to smile and who loved giving others a reason to smile too. Out of nowhere, she would hand you a tiny handmade figure she created while working (see picture) just to brighten your day. That is who she is.

On December 5, while delivering food in Seattle, her life changed in a way none of us could have imagined. She was simply waiting to cross the street when a man came from behind and struck her in the face with a wooden club with nails. There was no warning. No chance to protect herself.

The blow was so violent that she fell into the ground instantly. She remembers the shock, the pain, the fear of suddenly not being able to see. Strangers, people I will always be grateful for, rushed to help her, but she could only hear their voices. Her vision in her right eye was gone, and she was losing too much blood. At the hospital, we learned she had multiple fractures in her face, skull and nose… and that the damage to her right eye was permanent. She will never see from that eye again.

For a woman who worked every day to support herself and her family, this attack took more than her health. It stole her independence, her ability to work, and the sense of safety she once had. Now even the simplest tasks are difficult. She faces a long road of surgeries, recovery, and emotional healing.

We are raising funds to help my mom with medical costs, ongoing treatments, and basic living expenses while she tries to rebuild her life after something no one should ever have to experience. More than anything, I just want to help her feel like herself again and bring back the light and the smile this attack took from her.

Please help me bring my mom her smile again.

Any support, whether a donation, a share, or a kind message, means more to us than words can ever express.

Thank you for helping my mom find hope again and for helping me see her smile again.
