For example, my daughter often parks on the side of his house and causes panic about it. I have now stopped dealing with him,” revealed a neighbor of the 65-year-old. “As far as Thursday’s attack is concerned, I learned from my wife that another elderly man was outside his home and went to cut lemons.

His daughter came and as soon as he showed up, the first thing he said was “we expected this, he has a hooey”. Mr. Christos has had mental problems since childhood. As soon as he dropped the 80-year-old, people got together and because he was scared, he left so he wouldn’t be attacked but after a while he turned around because he had regrets because he understood what he had done,” he continued. “Now they are pulling “in” a man who is in trouble. The 80-year-old wasn’t very conscious, came and took him away from the EAA. However, as far as I know Christos from that day they have him in, as for the 80-year-old they say he is heavy in his health,” revealed his neighbor 65-year-old. Of the shocking attack, another neighbor of the 65 – year – old who revealed the condition of the victim. “I heard some voices and came out, but after I came out Mr. Christos was saying nothing, beyond something about lemons. I went to the 80-year-old, looked into his pockets, found his cell phone, luckily he had it unlocked, looked at the calls and found his daughter’s number. After I invited her, it wasn’t long before his daughter arrived. When I saw the 80-year-old, I saw him downstairs and he was hit in the back of the head and blood was running. We talked to him and he wouldn’t answer, he moved and we told him not to move until the ambulance arrived. I called EKAB 11:05 and 33’ was here, came quickly, then came the police,” he specifically said.
