An elderly Asian man was attacked with a glass bottle at an ATM in San Francisco, ABC 7 reports.
The 84-year-old man was at the Union Bank ATM along California Street before noon on Monday when a man approached him.
“Give me money! Give me your money! Give me money!” the man screamed at Marc, the elderly Asian man.
Marc gestured towards his messenger bag, trying to indicate to the man that he was retrieving cash for him. That’s when the man began hitting him with a glass bottle.
Marc now has a bruised and swollen face. His daughter Ana says he has no major injuries, but doctors believe he may have broken sinus bones that will require surgery.
