SPOKANE — Spokane police are looking for three robbers who stole the groceries from an 87-year-old disabled man in a wheelchair and assaulted him after the man had just purchased the food from a store.
The man told police the robbers, all males, were 18 to 20 years old. He says the robbers were armed with a hammer and a knife.
Police say the victim received medical treatment for a number of cuts to his face and neck following Saturday afternoon's attack. The robbers were last seen running away with the victim's groceries.
