Don't sit up. >> I was going to tell you something. >> Slide in the car like he said. >> What was going on? >> Well, I >> Sorry, I'm like a little torn up. >> Some time ago I I guess 20 minutes. I don't know. Heard a knock at the door. I let her know. She opened the door. woman forced the door open and demanded that her son was here and that she saw her saw the son. Sorry, she punched me three times in the head. I'm a bit woozy. >> She punched you three times in the head. >> Sit down for a second. >> She punched me. >> Sorry. I'm like It's just really sad. >> She's saying she punched you three times in the face. >> She did. >> Yeah. I get a knock at the door. I look through the peepphole when I see that it's her. And in the past, like when she's knocked at the door for me, like she's, you know, she'll ask me like that or she'll say that she's looking for her son, but like nothing. She's always been harmless. And so I opened the door and I was like, "Hey girl, what's going on?" And she was like, "I know you have my son. Like, let me in. >> I'm trying. I'm >> okay. Okay. Come on. Let's make an effort. >> I'm trying." >> There we go. Outstanding. >> Was she bleeding from >> her leg? Looks like she cut it uh on one of the objects on top. >> Anyway, and so she was like, "I know you have my son." And I was like, "Mandy, I don't know what you're talking about." So she punched herself in with that golf club. Ped yourself in and started to like punch me and beat me or trying to go at me. And I said, and finally I backed away and I said, "Mandy, look around. This is a taser that I got later." And I said, "Mandy, look around." Like, "There's nothing here." I said, "Look around. Look for him. Go look for him." And she wasn't. But then and so then that was whenever I had to call the police. I walked back, called the police. John is still trying to talk that's John still trying to talk her down. And then so finally I said I mean we just woke up so I'm in PJs, but And so she's walking around. I mean, she like opened all of my cabinets, opened the oven, opened their the um dishwasher, like trying to look for her son that she said was in a secret door. And I said, "I don't have a secret door." And then the whole time she's telling me like, "I know you have him. I know he's in a secret door. Like, where's the secret door?" And I'm like, "I don't I don't have him, but I'm trying to help you find him. Like, I'm trying to help you find him. You know, whatever." And at that point, I'm over the phone with the police, but she's still hysterical. And so in the process, she walks around, knocks things over. She took one of the pictures off my wall and tore it on the floor. So now there's broken glass everywhere. She took everything off my bathroom and tore that across the room. And I asked her cuz she seemed calm. So I was like, "Would you like some tea? Would you like some coffee while we look for your son?" And throughout the entire time she's like, "Yeah, call the sheriff. Like you're going to go to prison because I know you have him." So it was kind of like Anyway. So then she pushed me into the corner into the bath into the kitchen and I'm like, "Mandy, I'm trying to help you." Well, she's coming at me and I finally have her like locked kind of so that she's not like punching at me. John's trying to help. Um she's kicking me like punching me in the face. Punching me in the face. >> Yeah.

She came in the house with that golf club and she came swinging at me. >> So what escalated after that? >> I mean after all of that like I just told John I was like come on let's just stand on the porch. Like bless her heart like it's just mental illness and so it's like what do we do? You know and I'm trying to like calm her down at least get her to a point where she can just stay here until the police have come. >> How did you get here? >> I walked. >> You walked from where?
