A woman has pleaded no contest in a brick beating attack that left a 91-year-old grandfather hospitalized.

Laquisha Jones, 30, entered the no contest plea to one count of elder abuse inflicting injury on Thursday in Los Angeles, in connection with the Forth of July attack on Rodolfo Rodriguez.

As part of the negotiated plea deal, a charge of attempted murder was dropped, according to Deputy District Attorney Frank Dunnick.

Jones also admitted to a special allegation that she used a dangerous weapon in the crime, and that she had a prior conviction for making criminal threats in 2017, the district attorney's office said.

Jones will now face up to 15 years in prison at a sentencing hearing on February 28. She had faced up to 29 years if convicted of the original charges.

Although a witness claimed that Jones had screamed 'go back to your country' while attacking Rodriguez, a Mexican national, prosecutors did not pursue hate crime charges.

Investigators said that the attack was prompted by Jones' belief that Rodriquez had bumped into her daughter while walking down the sidewalk.

Rodriguez, who is now 92 and recovered from his injuries, denied that he had bumped into the girl.

The vicious attack unfolded at around 8pm on the Fourth of July in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Willowbrook.

Witnesses said Jones exploded in fury, shoving Rodriguez to the ground, picking up a brick and hitting him in the face with it.

A woman in the area caught the terrifying incident on cell phone video and said four men joined the mom in beating the grandfather.

Misbel Borjas told the Sacramento Bee that the mother told Rodriguez: 'Go back to your country, why are you here?'

'When I tried to videotape her with my cell phone,' Borjas said of the woman pictured holding the brick, 'she threw that same concrete block, tried to hit my car.'

The eyewitness said she called the police and asked the mother why she attacked the man, and was told by the mother that Rodriguez had tried to touch her daughter. The woman who witnessed the attack said that was a lie.

His family said Rodriguez suffered a broken jaw, broken cheekbones, two broken ribs and bruises on his face, back and abdomen.

Rodriguez, who doesn't speak English and is a legal US resident, said he doesn't understand why the mob attacked him.

He told reporters that he doesn't know why he was attacked and is grateful for the outpouring of community support and well wishes he's received.

'I'm just a poor old man; I don't deserve it,' he told reporters in Spanish outside his home.

As for Jones, he said she's in the right hands.

'I'll leave it to the law,' he said in Spanish.

'I'm not qualified to say she deserves five years or 10 years - that's not going to heal anything or heal me.

'What's going to heal me is Jesus Christ. They'll give her the punishment she deserves.'

Jones is being held in the Century Regional Detention Facility. She is due in court for sentencing on February 28.
