A home-invading thug attacked an 83-year-old Ashburn man, breaking his left shoulder and stealing his wallet and about $200 cash.
The crime occurred at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, February 7 at the victim's home near 82nd and Springfield. The victim heard his side doorbell ring. When he answered it, he saw the offender there, posing as a good samaritan. The offender claimed that the victim's garage had just been burglarized.
When the two walked out to the garage, the victim saw nothing wrong with the garage but did see a basement window broken.
The offender claimed that he saw who did it and would stick around to give a description to police. He advised the victim to go inside and call 911. As the victim stepped back into his house, the thug pushed him hard from behind, knocking him onto the hallway steps.
The criminal stepped over the victim and closed a door, attempting the trap the victim on the staircase. The man got to his feet, opened the door, grabbed a can of pepper spray and attempted to disable the thug; but the crook swatted the can away and pushed the victim onto the floor of a bedroom.
He used an extension cord to try and lock the victim in the bedroom but was unsuccessful. The victim emerged from the room to confront his attacker again. "Where's the money at?" the invader demanded as he knocked the victim down a third time.
As the victim lay on the floor, the thug went through his pockets, fleeing out the front door with the wallet and $200.
The victim then called 911. He was treated by CFD paramedics for lacerations to his head, left arm, lower left leg, and right hand. He was transported to Christ Hospital, where x-rays confirmed the broken shoulder.
The home invader was described as a black man age 30-40, 5'9 and 200 pounds, brown eyes, dark complexion, wearing a black hoody.
