MICHELLE BRUNETTI POST, Staff Writer
EGG HARBOR CITY — A woman beaten so badly July 27 in the Family Dollar store that she spent several days in an intensive care unit has been charged with threatening the life of the daughter of her alleged attacker.

Mary F. Martin, 37, of Egg Harbor City, said she has been charged with threatening to kill the daughter of Tymayasia Dewey, also of the city.
She said this week she is upset about being charged after being the victim of such an attack.
Police records show Martin was charged Aug. 11.
 
Hutton said there were children in the store at the time of the incident, but he was unsure whether they were with either of the women involved.
Martin said this week that her two children, a son, 7, and a daughter, 12, were with her. She said there were other witnesses, too.
