Octogenarian Man Carjacked, Beaten by Women

An 80-year-old man who was just trying to be a good Samaritan got more than he bargained for after offering a group of women a ride.

The women promptly beat the man with his own cane, stole his wallet and cell phone and drove off in his car.

If this were four young lions beating up on an older lion, we'd be sad but would understand. This is just disgusting. Luckily the man only suffered minor injuries; he was treated and released at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center. Police have found no sign of the car nor the women. Maybe they shold just look for a gang of four preying upon another senior citizen.
