Josephine Gurri, 77, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of physical abuse of an elderly or disabled adult, records showed.

According to an arrest report, the alleged abuse happened at an assisted living facility on Southwest 79th Terrace.

Officers met with a woman who said her grandmother has been living in the facility and has been beaten and abused by her caretaker, Gurri, the report said.
