A Fort Lauderdale man is accused of “severely” beating a 75-year-old man during a home invasion Friday night, according to NBC affiliate WTVJ.
J S, 48, reportedly beat the victim and stole his vehicle and $4,000 in cash.
Fort Lauderdale police responded to the home in the 2900 block of Banyan Street around 10:30 p.m. on Friday to find the 75-year-old victim severely beaten. He was taken to a nearby hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, WTVJ reported.
According to investigators, the man had taken out his trash and was coming back to his apartment when he found S in his home, going through his stuff.
When the victim confronted Soini, the suspect struck him with a trophy and tried to strangle him, WTVJ reported. S reportedly took off the victim’s bicycle and the $4,000.
Police located Sthe following morning around 1:20 a.m. in the stolen vehicle near a highway. Officers immobilized the vehicle and took him into custody.

This remains an active investigation.
