Police Publish Video, Ask Public’s Help to ID Three Suspects Who Assaulted Elderly Man

 

Pasadena Police Detectives today ask for the public’s assistance identifying three men they said are responsible for assaulting an elderly man resulting in significant injuries.

Police said that on October 13, 2015, at approximately 3:30 p.m., a 63-year old man was walking with a cane south on the west sidewalk of Lake Avenue, north of East Claremont Street. As the elderly victim neared the northwest corner of Claremont St., he saw three individuals on Claremont St. just west of him.

For no apparent reason, authorities said, one of the three individuals approached the victim and shoved him to the ground resulting in the elderly victim sustaining a broken elbow and collarbone. The three suspects then ran west on Claremont Street to an awaiting car. The car drove north on Hudson Avenue out of sight.

Police said the suspect that assaulted the victim is described as a black man, 25 to 27 years of age, 6’1”, weighing approximately 175 pounds. He was clean shaven and wearing a blue jersey with a red collar and white lettering on the front, blue pants and a blue baseball cap.

A second suspect was described by police as a black male, 25 to 27 years of age, and wearing a white t-shirt and red shorts.

The third suspect was described as a black man, 25 to 27 years of age, 5’11”, 150 pounds, with short twisted dreadlocks and multiple tattoos on his stomach and both arms. He was only wearing gray cut-off sweatpants and his hands were wrapped in white tape (similar to a boxer).

The driver was described as a black man wearing a white T-shirt and white or gray shorts.

The suspect vehicle is described as a late model silver Toyota Camry or similar.

The investigation is on-going.
