SHOCKING footage shows the moment a mum battered her neighbour after a 12-year feud.
A doorbell camera caught Sheleta McKenzie, 39, attacking her next door in Putney, South West London, and trashing the shared hallway with plant pots.
Amid a bitter 12-year dispute with her neighbour Helena Perestrello and her family, McKenzie beat up her daughter Anna.
In one incident, the doorbell camera – installed "due to the difficulties" – caught McKenzie punching Anna in the face.
Horror footage shows McKenzie pulling and twisting her hair, causing her to fall to the floor before she was dragged down the staircase.
The day prior on May 30, the camera filmed McKenzie smashing up plant pots in the shared corridor and throwing soil towards her neighbour's door.

The prosecution told Kingston Crown Court: "Your Honour can see clearly she's assaulted, grabbed by the hair, and pulled down the stairs because at the end there the defendant had Anna by the hair."
Lawyer Stephen Apted told the hearing rampaging McKenzie said to Helena: "This is to show you c**t what we do in this country", reports MyLondon.
A further clip, taken by Anna, shows rioting McKenzie shouting before barging her way into their building.
Anna can be heard shouting "go upstairs, mum" as her mother cries out for help.

McKenzie can then be seen with a tight grip of Anna's hair before she collapses to the ground on the stairs.
When cops arrived at the scene they saw "obvious injuries to both victims". Helena was later taken to hospital.
Judge Brown revealed the police "saw drops of blood" on the stairwell.
She branded the attack "fierce and unprovoked".
Judge Anne Brown added: "You recognised punching and kicking would cause serious pain and this was in the proximity of your home where both victims should feel safe."
Helena told the court: "What lengths she would go to again I do not know.
"I am waking up at night and the slightest noise I am unable to go back to sleep.
"I am scared to live my day-to-day life independently. I have lost weeks of work trying to recover from the assault."
The court did not hear the full details of the feud, but it was noted McKenzie had repeatedly called the police and estate management on the Perestrellos.
In a statement read out in court, Anna said: "The build up of incident starting from Christmas 2021 has made my anxiety increase.
"I have been losing sleep due to nerves. I feel fear each time I hear her front door open.
"I think it is wrong my mother needs to call me each time she leaves her address."

McKenzie was spared jailed and was given an 18-month community order, 15 days' rehabilitation, a mental health order, and a restraining order at the hearing on Wednesday.
She avoided being slapped with a £1,000 compensation payment as the judge deemed it would be too tough for McKenzie to pay on £1,100 benefits a month and caring for her son.
