ROCK HILL Rock Hill Police are investigating a case of elder abuse against a 100-year-old woman by her niece, according to an incident report.
Police were called to Wells Fargo bank at 1709 Heckle Blvd. in Rock Hill Thursday after the bank manager said customers reported seeing an elderly woman being pushed out of a vehicle.
The bank manager went outside and found the 100-year-old woman standing in the parking lot. The manager said the woman and her 85-year-old niece, who is her caretaker, frequent the bank to make withdrawals, and that the niece yells and pushes her every time the two enter the bank.
The woman said she's been assaulted by her niece several times and that her niece pulls her hair, twists her nose and pushes her, which has made her fall, the report said.
The niece did not deny grabbing her aunt's nose and said she makes her angry. She told police that they withdraw money for gambling. Police noticed a large amount of money in the niece's purse.
An arrest is pending further investigation.
