Before a member of the peanut gallery pipes in, yes, I am aware that the victim is probably black as well. She is also 82 years old.

"Two brutes accused of randomly pummeling an 82-year-old woman on a Bronx street have been released without bail — even though the violent pair has a combined 18 prior arrests, The Post has learned.

William Ballinger and Tammie Moore — both of whom have lengthy rap sheets — were busted by cops last week and charged with second-and third-degree assault for the vicious Aug. 2 attack on the elderly home health aide in Olinville, police said.

Prosecutors asked that each of the 32-year-old defendants be held on $30,000 cash bail or $90,000 bond during their arraignments in Bronx Criminal Court on Thursday and Friday, the District Attorney’s Office said.

But the judges — Eugene Bowen for Ballinger and Craig Ortner for Moore — decided to cut the suspects loose on supervised release, the DA’s Office said."

"Ballinger and Moore are accused of punching the elderly victim several times in an unprovoked assault near East 212th Street and White Plains Road just after 7 p.m., cops said.

The heartless duo threw the woman to the ground, then stomped on her — all without saying a word, according to police.

The victim’s daughter, who did not want to be named, said her mother was depositing bottles when she was attacked.

After a brief exchange between the victim and one of the suspects, they started hitting her.

“Her cheek (is) swollen and everything. They started beating her, oh my god…Hitting on the head, hitting on the legs,” the victim’s daughter said."
