I feel sick to my stomach reading this. Why would anyone want to hurt an innocent elderly person in a scooter ? This is just pure evil 😥

Absolutely disgusting to attack elderly man so sad

RIEP so sad we have no police presence the community is shocked, how can someone stab an elderly gentleman. Police still at the scene this morning. I hope they catch the thugs.

Absolutely shocking, this country is gone even locally to me ducks been killed by kids with catapults and no punishment is handed out it’s about time people who do things like this get locked away for life.
