Sarah Palin posts image of husband's face after son's attack

Sarah Palin rang in the New Year by sharing an image of her bruised beau.

The one-term Alaska governor stated on Instagram she and her family were heading out to their cabin for New Year's Eve, her photo also featuring her daughter Piper and son Trig along with her still-injured husband, Todd.

According to court records, Todd Palin was viciously attacked on the night of Dec. 16 by son Track at the family's home in Wasilla, Alaska.

After Todd Palin refused to let his eldest son borrow the family truck, citing that he had been drinking and taking pain medication, Track reportedly broke a window, entered the home and began repeatedly striking his father on the head.

Sarah Palin called 911 to report that her son was "freaking out" and on "some type of medication."

Despite the brutal incident taking place over two weeks ago, the Palin patriarch still appears to have a cut across his nose and a bruise underneath his right eye.

While the self-proclaimed "grizzly mom" has yet to comment on the altercation, she has previously blamed post-traumatic stress disorder as the reason for Track's violent behavior.

After he allegedly held an assault rifle near his girlfriend's head in 2016, Sarah Palin explained at a Trump rally, "My son, a combat veteran … was fighting for you all, America, in the war zone. My son, like so many others, came back a bit different, they come back hardened."

Track spent a year deployed in Iraq with the Army.

The Anchorage Daily News reports that he's currently out on bail and faces charges of first-degree felony burglary and a misdemeanor count of fourth-degree assault.
