Shocking footage of elderly man with cane beaten by thugs

A 65-year-old grandfather was twice assaulted overnight in north-west Sydney as he walked home from the Royal Easter Show.
Norman Lewis says he was first assaulted by the train station by a man and a woman, reported 7 News.
He headed to the police station to file a report, but just minutes after he left, at about 9pm, a group of six set upon him on Garfield Road East in Riverstone.
Police say Mr Lewis was punched and kicked repeatedly and video shows him being hit with a walking stick or crutch, carried by one of his attackers.
During the assault, he received a large gash to his forehead, as well as a cut lip and swelling.
Mr Lewis says he was beaten over the head with the metal crutch, and he has also suffered broken ribs.
'Scumbags I suppose,' he said about his attackers.
'But they're only young. I don't know if they were on ice or just drunk... I don't know.'
CCTV footage appears to show Mr Lewis being held still by members of the group at various points during the ordeal as he is beaten repeatedly.
'I thought I was in a bit of trouble - especially when that fella hit me over the head with a crutch or walking stick,' he said.
He was taken to Riverstone Police Station and helped by officers until an ambulance came to pick him up.
Mr Lewis was then taken to Westmead Hospital for further tests.
A spokesperson for the hospital told Daily Mail Australia he arrived in a stable condition, was held overnight for observation and was discharged mid-morning on Wednesday.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the assault, and urge anyone with information to contact Riverstone Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
