INN reported on the case of a 71 year old homeless man who was attacked and robbed of his wallet outside a bookshop by two young men in Nakhon Sawan Road, Bangkok earlier in the week.

 

The social development and human security ministry has been instrumental in working with welfare agencies to help the victim, said INN.

 

He already has a new ID card to replace the one stolen and will be treated according to provisions in the Homeless Persons' Act.

 

He is currently recovering in a shelter for the homeless.

Young punks proving their masculinity.  Six months in jail and when they get out they'll be shopping for high heels.

yeah, i'm guessing the scumbags won't be doing much mugging in jail. This poor guy was an easy target for them. Glad he is ok and recovering.

"Thanks for the card fella. Did you know I gave all my money to the girls? They really loved me. Not like those other guys."

I imagine if the 2 young men use it to try and buy beer, they may get some funny looks if claiming to be 71

71 year old homeless man has a wallet.  I'd of bet against that.  How could two young thugs of possibly picked him as a likely target?
