The homeless man from Djibouti was a one-man elderly robbery-and-assault machine, breaking wrists, slamming skulls, and even targeting women with walkers and canes.
A homeless migrant from the African country of Djibouti has been arrested after beating and robbing an astounding number of elderly victims, with some of them over the age of 90.
Labeled a serial attacker of the elderly, the 36-year-old man has attacked 17 elderly women in Rennes in recent weeks, often with extreme violence. Due to the series of assaults, police set up surveillance checks around the area of attacks in the hopes of catching the man.
That surveillance eventually paid off. During the last day of the market in Villejean, police officers caught the man in the middle of a vicious assault on a senior who was walking on crutches at the time. Prosecutor Philippe Astruc said the suspect “slammed the head of an 83-year-old woman against the doorknob of her building.”
