Eldery woman critical at K.H.M.H.

In an update to a brutal attack on an elderly couple, tonight we report that while one of the victims has been discharged from the hospital, the other remains in a critical condition. Officials at the K.H.M.H. tell News 5 that fifty-eight year old Emilio Saragoza has been released from the facility, however, the woman he was with, identified as Tomasa Nah, remains hospitalised, suffering from a fractured skull. Nah and Saragoza were walking on Regent Street around ten p.m. on Tuesday night when a man on a bicycle approached them and demanded money. They refused and the man took to beating them repeatedly with a length of galvanised pipe. As they lay bleeding on the street, the man then stole thirty-five dollars from them and disappeared. That assailant is still on the loose tonight and the Police Department is convinced someone saw something that may lead to the identification of this criminal. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to please contact the nearest police station; anonymous calls are accepted.
