Mean Auntie Beats Niece with Pink Baseball Bat

Kansas ... where aunts are much nicer to their nieces

​Loreal Brown is no Auntie Em. The San Francisco woman was arrested this week after she allegedly chased down her 18-year-old niece and hit her with a pink baseball bat.

The victim and her mother -- Brown's sister -- gave police conflicting stories about what happened that night on the sidewalk at Eddy and Pierce streets. But what investigators do know is that a fight broke out between the victim and another teen, who were arguing over $50, Captain Denis O'Leary told SF Weekly.

The victim managed to wrangle the cash from her opponent, but the fighting wasn't over.
For a reason still unclear to police, Brown started chasing her niece, who was now $50 richer, and beating her with a baseball bat. The victim claims her aunt broke her arm, but her mother is denying that, O'Leary says.

Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a pink and deadly weapon.
