California Grandfather, 92, Beat With Brick

LOS ANGELES, CA -- A 92-year-old Los Angeles man is recovering Monday after he was allegedly beat with a brick by a woman and four men. Loved ones who created a GoFundMe for Rodolfo Rodriguez said the incident happened when the man went for his daily walk in the neighborhood on July 4.

KTLA reported Rodriguez bumped into a child when a woman, who may have been the child's mother, "pushes him to the floor before grabbing a brick and beating him with it."

Erik Mendoza, the grandson of Rodriguez, told KTLA that four men then attacked his grandfather.

"Misbel Borjas, Rodriguez's neighbor, said she was the witness involved. Borjas said she also came under attack after she tried helping her friend and claims the mother 'tried to hit me with the same rock like hit him,'" KTLA reported.

Now, authorities are hoping to track the suspects down, the news station reported.

In the meantime, loved ones are hoping to raise money to pay for the medical bills of Rodriguez. As of Monday, they passed their goal of $15,000 and raised more than $34,000.
