Mugged 96-Year-Old Recovering in Chatsworth
Louis Waxman is beaten and robbed, but that's not stopping him from living life the way he wants.
A 96-year-old man has cuts and bruises after he was brutally assaulted outside of a Nevada casino on Oct. 30, KCAL9 reports.
Louis Waxman is recovering at his daughter's home in Chatsworth after he was jumped in the parking garage of Sunset Station Hotel & Casino and robbed of his money.
"All of a sudden, somebody pounced on top of me … and down I went,” he told KCAL9. “I couldn’t see him. He was on top of me. I was face-down on the ground. He was smacking my head against the cement. And I started to bleed all over.”
But Waxman remains in high spirits, saying he has already returned to the casino where he was attacked and plans on heading back next week for his 97th birthday.
