Boston Woman Faces Assault Charges After Parking Lot Beating

A Boston woman was arrested Friday morning after a parking dispute at the South Shore Plaza.

Julie E. Brodney, 35, was charged with two counts of assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon according to Braintree Police Chief Russ Jenkins.

Police say that Brodney’s vehicle was allegedly parked in a way that did not allow the two passengers of a second vehicle to enter from the passenger side of the second car.

After a 48-year-old Stoughton woman and Brodney exchanged words, Brodney allegedly flung her car door open, striking the Stoughton woman in the arm and torso. She then punched the woman in the head and grabbed her hair, according to police.

The woman’s daughter, a 25-year-old Stoughton woman, went to her mother’s aid and Brodney grabbed her hair as well and punched her several times in the face. During the altercation, Brodney kicked the mother in the face.

A male companion of the Stoughton women was able to separate the women. None of the women required medical treatment.
