An elderly man has suffered horrifying facial injuries after he was allegedly bashed inside a retirement village over an alleged stolen coffee mug on Saturday. The 88-year-old retiree living in The Haven suffered bleeding to the brain after he was viciously assaulted by another tenant at the centre, police claim. An altercation broke out between the victim and a 69-year-old man after the alleged assailant accused the 88-year-old of stealing his favourite coffee mug. It is believed the older resident denied the allegations, before he was punched in the head multiple times.
