Blind man beaten, robbed by group of Mt. Clemens teens Christine Ferretti / The Detroit News
Mount Clemens -- Daniel Perron was returning from a party store Tuesday night with a money order to pay his rent and the remaining $600 he had left for the month in his pocket.
Out of nowhere, the 50-year-old -- who is legally blind and walks with a cane -- said he was ambushed from behind by a group of young people.
Perron said his head was slammed into a wrought-iron fence on North River Road near the Gibraltar Trade Center.
He was knocked to the ground, kicked in the head, beaten and tipped upside down as the crooks worked to retrieve the Social Security disability cash from his pocket. After the beating and robbery, the group fled.
"It's pretty bad that people would do something like that," Perron said. "I don't want vengeance, but I would like to see them prosecuted."
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
