While he was in the store to buy ice cream for his granddaughter in Beese, in the province of Antwerp, Johnny Verstraeten, 76, witnessed a couple’s argument. Seeing her degenerate, he decided to come between the two people, which earned him a severe beating.
The attacker, a 19-year-old man, fled before police arrived but was later arrested on Monday. Johnny, who had to be taken to the hospital, is very shocked. “Such senseless violence once morest an elderly man in the presence of his granddaughter… Such a scoundrel has no place in the street,” he told our colleagues from HLN.
