An elderly man is hospitalised and recovering after a violent home invasion at his Paradise View residence on Thursday afternoon.
According to Antigua.news, three men forced their way through the front door of the victim's home and brutally assaulted him before fleeing the scene. The attack has left community members shaken and raised fresh concerns about the safety of vulnerable residents.
The victim sustained serious injuries during the assault and was transported by ambulance to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where he is receiving medical treatment.
An attack on an elderly person inside their own home is particularly alarming, as many view their residences as places of safety and security. Family members and loved ones are said to be at the victim's side as he recovers from the ordeal.
Authorities are expected to launch an investigation into the incident as efforts are made to identify those responsible. Antigua.news has indicated it will provide further updates as additional information becomes available.
