“He Was Really Pissed Off”
Those vases are for floral arrangements you senile old coot:
Posted: November 17th, 2006 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Jerk Move, Law & OrderItomor Khaimov, 28, was near his home, walking his German shepherd Nona by the final resting place of his grandmother Sonya Khanukhova at Washington Cemetery in Bensonhurst.
As he approached the gravesite, he saw something ghastly
James Scott, 80, was relieving himself in a vase on Khanukhova’s grave, the Brooklyn man said.
Incredulous, Khaimov shouted, “What the f— are you doing?” at Scott, who was holding a rake.
“He said, ‘I’m urinating,’ and didn’t stop,” Khaimov told The Post yesterday.
“I started to cry and scream, ‘Do you realize this is my grandmother’s grave?'” Khaimov recounted. “He said, ‘I’m an old man, I can’t hold it.'”
Scott told Khaimov to “get out of there” but there was no stopping the grandson.
As Khaimov confronted him, Scott swung at him with the rake, hitting him on the head and causing a mild concussion, according to police sources.
“He took a big swing like he was holding bat — he was really pissed off,” said Khaimov. The young man went to nearby Maimonides Hospital where he was treated and released after the Nov. 1 incident. Then he called 911.
“This is supposed to be a calm place, a place for them to rest,” said Khaimov. After an investigation, cops arrested Scott on Tuesday and charged him with second-degree assault, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon: the rake.
