The Woman with the Walking Stick Initiated Physical Contact by Pushing Her Cane Towards the PMA User

The physical altercation at the coffee shop began when the elderly woman in green raised her walking stick and pushed it towards the woman using a personal mobility aid (PMA). This action prompted the PMA user to dismount her device and attempt to grab the walking stick, leading to a physical exchange where she struck the woman with the cane.
Escalation from Argument to Physical Contact

The confrontation escalated from an argument to a physical scuffle after the woman in green used her walking stick to push towards the other woman. Prior to this, the PMA user had been seen pointing upwards and repeatedly saying "CCTV" to the woman in green.
PMA User's Reaction to the Cane Push

Following the push from the walking stick, the PMA user dismounted her device. She then attempted to grab the walking stick while simultaneously striking the woman who had pushed her with the cane.
Subsequent Scuffle and Intervention

Both women subsequently fell to the ground and continued to grapple. A bystander, dressed in purple, intervened in an attempt to separate them. Another man also stepped in to break up the fight, although the women continued struggling briefly despite these efforts. Police were called to the scene, and a 69-year-old woman was taken to the hospital conscious, while a 65-year-old woman, who sustained minor injuries, declined hospitalisation. Both individuals are assisting with investigations.
