MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) - A $500 reward has been offered as authorities seek suspects
in the robbery of a legally blind man who was beaten with his own walking cane.
Fifty-year-old Dan Perron told police he was walking on North River Road near the
Gibraltar Trade Center about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when he was jumped from behind by
several men.
Perron tells The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens the suspects kicked and hit him and
tried getting into his pockets by turning him upside down.
Perron said he believes the attackers saw he had money when he cashed his disability
check at a bank, then stopped at a store to get a money order for his rent. The suspects
stole the remaining $600.
A witness chased away the suspects. Police said several suspects were in custody
but no arrests have been made.
