Micki Davis, 63, and her Grandson went to her son’s former girlfriend’s house in Wichita, Kansas shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Sunday to pick up some of her son, Jacob Gillespie’s belongings. As reported by CBS News, a fight reportedly ensued and 35-year-old Rachael Hilyard, who used to date Davis’ son, began assaulting the Wichita grandmother. Davis’ nine-year-old grandson then became frightened and grabbed his grandmother’s cellphone before fleeing the house. Once outside, he then immediately dialed 911 to report the ongoing assault. Fortunately the grandson was unharmed in the incident.
