Scottish musician's wife assaulted by 'bagpipe Karen' in shocking outburst in Texas park
The wife of a Scottish musician was allegedly assaulted in a Texas park after a woman became enraged by the sound of bagpipes.
Scott Gibb was playing in a secluded area at Terry Hershey Park in Houston on May 26, when he was confronted by Eunice Isgur, 76.
'She said I had no right to play here in this public park,' Gibb told KTRK.
Isgur began recording Gibb and yelling at him for playing his instrument, Harris County Precinct 5 Constable Terry Allbritton said.
'She said, "I'm gonna call my husband. He's a federal judge and he's gonna make you stop",' Gibb told the outlet, referring to Isgur's husband US District Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur of the Southern District of Texas.
As the situation escalated, Gibb's wife witnessed the argument unfold and decided to begin recording the pair herself.
Gibb, a Scottish native, said that Isgur's husband did arrive on the scene but hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing.
But Isgur reportedly became further angered that she was being recorded, which is when she allegedly hit the victim's arm while swiping at her phone.
'She was very aggressive, yelling and screaming,' Gibb told the outlet. 'She basically swiped at my wife's face.'
Gibb said that Isgur has previously confronted him about the noise, but this was the first violent encounter they had.
'You can't have people so disrespectful and attacking for no reason at all,' Gibb told the outlet.
Isgur, according to authorities, suffered a black eye after she tripped in an attempt to grab the victim's backpack.
Isgur was arrested for Assault-Bodily Injury and posted an $100 bond, according to online records.
