"Hyde Park man, 40, is accused of beating, robbing 84-year-old" by Milton Valencia, Globe Staff | August 5, 2008
Nolen is accused of beating and robbing an 84-year-old man who was heading to his Neponset Valley Parkway apartment last week, choking him to the point of unconsciousness. Police say Nolen took $100 from the man.
The victim told police he was returning from a grocery store when a man later identified as Nolen helped him into his apartment, then tackled him from behind and choked him.
The attack last week was the latest of several on the elderly that have frightened Hyde Park residents.
In one case in April, an 88-year-old woman was sexually assaulted by a man who entered her apartment. The man climbed through the window of her first-floor home in an elderly housing complex, beat her, and attempted to rape her. The man, dressed in black, fled after the woman fought him off. Police said he did not steal anything from the home. The woman was hospitalized with facial injuries.
In another case that week, a 76-year-old man was beaten and robbed in the neighborhood.
I'm against the death penalty, but if anyone ever deserved to be fried.
HOW DISRESPECTFUL!! OLD PEOPLE?!?!
I wish the Boston cops had better things than cruise the strip, bust brothels, hang out in bars and buy drugs.
