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.

Umm, maybe chain these suckers into a wheelchair for three years and make them deliver groceries to shut-ins. Posted on November 30, 2008 at 1:35 PM by Guido Tito. Jump to comment

I object to the headline calling these punks 'Men' - they clearly aren't men. No real man would stoop to this level. Posted on November 30, 2008 at 2:45 PM by JC3. Jump to comment
