Juvenile Assaults 79-Year-Old Air Force Veteran in Pearland After ATM Withdrawal

An elderly Air Force veteran was assaulted, injured, and robbed after withdrawing cash from an ATM in Pearland, Texas earlier this month — cellphone video shows a juvenile taking the victim’s wallet.

The attack occurred outside a Walgreens on June 19. Video footage obtained by police reveals that the victim, a 79-year-old Air Force veteran, had believed withdrawing cash from an ATM inside the store would be safer but later felt he was being watched and was jumped as soon as he left the building. He reported sustaining only minor injuries.

Pearland police confirmed that the suspect identified in a video taken down from their social media page is a juvenile, and officers are working to take him into custody.
