Police in New York have announced that they finally arrested a suspect accused of robbing an 81-year-old blind man at a Queens ATM machine late in October.

Bronx resident Thomas Fullwood, 29, was arrested on December 2 for the attack of the elderly William Eichhorn on October 26.

Fullwood and an accomplice beat the aged man to the ground all for a mere $100. The second attacker is still at large.

“It takes two cowardly individuals to hit a frail 81-year-old man,” Mary Ann Gasparro, Eichhorn’s daughter, told the media in October.
