The woman is said to have asked Elma to move her car, which was parked on the drop kerb outside Pauline's house in Danbury, Essex, because she wanted to park there herself.

Elma said her daughter, who has Parkinson's disease, would do it once they finished dinner.

When they went to move their cars ten minutes later the woman is said to have launched a volley of four-letter abuse and repeatedly punched the OAP "like a boxer".

Pauline, 55, said: "My mum pulled out the space to the right and I moved my son's car forward and reversed mine back onto the drive.

"With that the woman went racing up to my 79-year-old mother and said 'did you want to ******* fight you ****?'

"She replied, 'no darling, this is Danbury, not Basildon'.
