NYPD: 81-Year-Old Blind Man Beaten, Robbed After Withdrawing Money From Queens ATM

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A rally was held demanding arrests for the violent mugging of an 81-year-old legally blind man last month in Queens.

The victim, Bill Eichhorn, left church and walked to a Chase Bank on Queens Boulevard near 46th Street in Sunnyside around 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 26.

Eichhorn had just withdrawn money to buy a newspaper and coffee when he was beaten and robbed of $100 and his debit card, 1010 WINS’ Glenn Schuck reported.

“Just as I got the dollars in my hand, two guys came — one on either side — and said, ‘Give it up,'” Eichorn said. “I didn’t give it up right away so they got a little angry I guess and that’s when they popped me.”

Eichorn, his family, local police officers and members of the City Council held a rally outside the bank Tuesday to enlist the public’s help to track down the suspects.

“Two brutes decided that they needed to punch my 81-year-old, legally blind father to get his money,” Eichorn’s daughter, Mary Anne Gasparro, said.

Police have stopped identifying perps as black because everyone KNOWS already they are.
Liberals seem to be ok with sharia, lets see it here. Remove a hand at the wrist for both of these thugs.
