A Forest Park woman who screamed for someone to stop a south Georgia man from beating a U.S. Army reservist, at a Morrow Cracker Barrel, testified Thursday that she was frightened of him, during, and immediately after the attack.

Prosecution witnesses continued to give testimony, on Thursday, in the trial of Troy Dale West, Jr., of Poulan, Ga., who is facing charges of aggravated assault, battery, disorderly conduct, false imprisonment, and cruelty to children, for the Sept. 9, 2009 attack on Army reservist, Tashawnea Hill. West allegedly beat Hill, and yelled slurs at her, in front of her then-7-year old daughter, in the foyer of the restaurant.
