Emergency crews were called to help a beating victim in Westmoreland County Saturday after a bizarre attack between siblings.

They said they responded to a report of a North Huntingdon Township woman bleeding from her head.

When they arrived, they said they were shocked to find that the weapon was the victim's prosthetic leg.

Police said Donna Sturkie-Anthony took her elder sister's prosthetic leg and beat her with it.

They said Sherry Lynn Gibson was treated by emergency crews and her sister was charged with assault and harassment.
