Video: Elderly man pummeled in grocery store parking lot following verbal dispute



A Florida man turned himself in on Tuesday after he was accused of carrying out a brutal attack on a 73-year-old man.

Surveillance video, according to reports, captured Walker's purported attack on the elderly man and appears to show him repeatedly punching the victim, after which time he reportedly snatched the victim's cell phone from his hands and smashed it on the ground.

What are the details?

In Winter Haven, Florida, police say that 43-year-old Florida resident Donald Ray Walker turned himself in to authorities after he was accused of engaging in a verbal dispute with an unnamed elderly man as the victim was leaving a grocery store and entering a crosswalk.

Witnesses said that the elderly man protested after Walker nearly hit the man with his vehicle, prompting Walker to get out of the vehicle and punch him.

Surveillance footage from a nearby building showed the elderly victim shrinking away from his attacker, and authorities said at this time the victim told Walker that he was going to call the police over the violent and unwarranted attack.

The purported remark, judging by the video, apparently enraged Walker even further, as he then converged on the elderly man and knocked him to the ground, where he rained down no fewer than 10 blows on the victim.

At that point, Walker was seen snatching the victim's cell phone from his hand and smashing it on the ground.

The suspect then reportedly fled from the scene.

Authorities have yet to release any information on the elderly man's condition at the time of this reporting.

Police told local news outlets that Walker turned himself in at the Polk County Jail on Tuesday morning, but did not specify the charges he faces in connection with the attack.

Skateboarding thug knocks out elderly man in brutal random attack



Authorities arrested a 21-year-old skateboarder in connection with a brutal — and seemingly random — attack on an elderly man in Newark, New Jersey.

The attack took place in broad daylight on a public street earlier this month.

What are the details?

The suspect, identified as Tyjihad Ellison, was reportedly riding a skateboard on the streets of Newark on Feb. 11 when he reportedly approached a 73-year-old man walking the streets with his elderly wife — and threw a punch that knocked him out cold.

Video showed the moment a suspect rode up behind the victim and his wife and sucker-punched the male victim. Video showed the elderly man collapse to the ground as the suspect appeared to pick something up from the ground. The suspect then quickly fled the scene.

First responders rushed the elderly man to nearby University Hospital for treatment and were able to catch up with the suspect, whom they arrested without incident.

The unnamed elderly victim's daughter, who remains unnamed at the time of this reporting, told WABC-TV that her father was treated for his injuries and released home to recover.

"When he woke up, he just kept asking what happened to him," she told the station in a statement on the senseless attack. "Because he doesn't remember anything that happened."

She added that her parents — who have lived in the area their entire lives — are now afraid to leave their home.

“You know, in this area, we think it’s safe, but it’s not. They don’t want to leave the house any more. They’re so scared,” she added. “I feel sick, very sick, very sad, and I don’t know what do to, what to say.”

What else?

WKXW-FM reported that Ellison reportedly suffers from an undisclosed mental illness.

He has been charged with aggravated assault.

VIDEO: Teens knock down 80-year-old Asian man, punch and slap and rob him — all amid high-pitched giggles as victim cries out for help



A pair of teenagers were caught on surveillance video knocking down an 80-year-old Asian man in a northern California neighborhood Saturday before punching him, slapping him, and robbing him — all amid high-pitched giggles presumably from a third teen as the victim cried out for help, KGO-TV reported.

What are the details?

Police told the station the suspects are as young as 16.

The elderly man was on a walk around 4 p.m. when the attack on Acapulco Road occurred, police told KNTV-TV, adding that the suspects ripped off the victim's Fitbit. KGO said the 80-year-old's watch was stolen and that he sustained minor injuries.

A neighbor who didn't want to be identified told KNTV the victim said the attackers "tried to take his wallet, but luckily he wasn't seriously injured."

The neighbor added to the station that he heard the elderly man tell police he's noticed anti-Asian crime increasing in the Bay Area of late, and "he thought he was targeted for being Asian as well."

KGO said a vehicle similar to the one seen in the surveillance video was observed during a strong-armed robbery in San Leandro less than two hours later. The station added that the victim in the latter incident is a younger woman whose purse was stolen.

Nearly 300% spike in attacks against Asian Americans

Two months ago San Leandro police revealed that violent crimes against Asians jumped by 283% in the city from 2019 to 2020, KNTV reported — and San Leandro is only 36% Asian American.

Police told KGO they can't say how many incidents were hate crimes or race-motivated — but San Leandro police Lt. Ali Kahn noted to the station that "numbers don't lie."

In nearby San Francisco, surveillance video caught the moment an Asian man was punched, fell to the sidewalk, and then was hit with about a dozen punches to the head and back on April 30 — all while the victim's 1-year-old child sat in a stroller just feet away.

The neighbor whose surveillance video caught the attack on the elderly Asian man in San Leandro told KGO he wants to see "more consequences" for the teen perps and others committing similar crimes: "Because it seems to be ongoing ... That's really the best thing that could happen, so they can learn."
