Attempted robbery and assault happened between 1.20am and 1.45am last Thursday. The pensioner suffered a black eye and a bleed on the brain after he was assaulted in his home by two masked men.
The seventy-seven-year-old
was dragged out of bed by the intruders and punched and kicked multiple times.
The men raided
his property and woke him up before demanding the keys to an Audi car on the
driveway of the home on Moor Green Lane in Birmingham.
West Midlands
Police said the masked men left empty-handed.
The victim was
left with a black eye, a cut lip, broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
He is in a
serious condition in hospital after suffering a bleed on the brain that doctors
believe could be as a result of the assault.
In a statement,
West Midlands Police said: “Our investigations are in the early stages, but so
far there is no CCTV covering the location.
“However, we
are asking people to think back if anything seemed unusual at that time, or to
check their CCTV to see if there is anything from around that time that might
help with our investigation.
“We are also
urging anyone who may know these people, who have caused these horrible
injuries to this man, to do the right thing and hand them in.”
