Elderly Seattle woman has eye gouged out in random attack by repeat thug – as cops admit ‘he’s notorious’ | 22 Dec 2025 | Sickening footage shows the moment an elderly Seattle woman had her eye gouged out after she was randomly bashed in the head with a board by a “notorious” repeat-offender thug. Jeanette Marken, 75, was permanently blinded in her right eye after the alleged perp, Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42, struck her with a piece of wood riddled with bolts and screws earlier this month, KOMO reported. The horrifying clip from downtown Seattle captured the attacker approaching the unsuspecting woman from behind as she waited patiently to cross the street just outside the King County Courthouse. The violent offender used both hands to swing the piece of wood as hard as possible, bashing his victim and then calmly strolling away. Pea, who was slapped with an assault charge over the latest incident, has racked up a long list of prior arrests for assault, property destruction and unlawful use of weapons. He was booked eight times this year alone in the King County jail, but none of them resulted in felony charges, records show.
