Police: Man, 82, attacked, carjacked buying gift for wife at Willow Grove Park Mall, teens sought
Police say an 82-year-old man was attacked and robbed at Willow Grove Park Mall.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY - An 82-year-old man's innocent trip to the mall ended with violence after an unprovoked attack earlier this month.
Police say the man was walking to his truck in the parking lot of Willow Grove Park Mall when he was attacked from behind by two teen suspects.
He was hit in the back of the head, and forced to the ground as the suspects told him, "This is a hold-up. Give us all your money."
The elderly victim had just bought a gift for his wife, which police say the suspects stole.
