Police manhandle 93-year-old woman during arrest for overdue rent

Police officers have been filmed dragging a crying and screaming 93-year-old woman to jail in shocking footage.



Juanita Fitzgerald can heard shouting 'you're hurting me' and 'help!' as the officers evict her from the home she has lived in since 2011.



They tell the 5-foot-tall, 100 pound woman to relax and insist they're not putting any pressure on her. They said: 'We tried to convince her.'



In the police bodycam video, she can be heard continuing to shout 'no' and 'ow' in a distressed voice as she sits in the ground by her walking frame.



An officer is heard telling the pensioner 'we don't want to hurt you' in a video of the incident in Eustis, Florida.



Another officer can be heard saying 'don't scratch me' as him and his colleagues continue their efforts to get her into a patrol car.



Fitzgerald is then finally put in the back seat of the police car after her efforts to resist being evicted.
