Associated Press Report

GARY — Police say a Gary panhandler pulled out a crucifix and beat a woman passing by after she said she had no money to give.The passerby, 50-year-old Pamela Johnson of Gary, was treated at a hospital for a deep cut on her forehead.

Gary Police Cmdr. Richard Allen says Johnson told officers that she was walking to her car about 10 p.m. Saturday when an unidentified woman approached her. When Johnson told the panhandler she had no money, the woman produced a foot-long crucifix made of stone and started hitting Johnson over the head.

So far, no one has been arrested and the weapon has not been recovered.

First of all, I'm glad the woman is okay and wasn't seriously injured.

But all I could think of when I read this story was this:

A gold star to whoever knows what movie that is from. :)
