00:02Residents are used to seeing their 74-year-old neighbour walking the streets of Yonora at sunrise.
00:08But this morning those streets turned to a crime scene.
00:11He used to go exercise every morning and then about 5 o'clock in the morning.
00:17That's why I'm shocked. He's a very peaceful man and he was shocked from the back.
00:22The elderly man was found laying on the side of Orchardly Street after being beaten just before 5 o'clock.
00:28Police say he couldn't talk as the injuries to his head were severe.
00:33A vulnerable member of the community in what appears to be a cowardly and callous attack.
00:38A doctor and intensive care paramedics provided first aid before an ambulance rushed him to Westmead Hospital in a critical
00:46condition.
00:47She's still undergoing a number of surgeries.
00:49I'm still like wondering what's going on with him and why the guy punished him from the back.
00:55Officers canvassed the crime scene this morning hoping to find a lead.
01:00The police are trying to understand why this assault happened.
01:03They believe it was a random attack because the victim had no links to organised crime or a criminal history.
01:09The 74-year-old male is married with three children who have all been notified.
01:14They're now turning to the public for information.
01:16I'd encourage the members of the community to treat this as if it was one of their own family and
01:21to assist the police investigation.
01:22Friends and family trying to understand a senseless crime.
01:26The 34-year-old female is the name of our M3-P9-0, a colleague of the CISCO.
01:27The 34-year-old men left off of the CISCO.

01:31The 35-year-old woman is the same.
01:32The Russians were so inclined to talk to us about four-year-old men of the CISCO.
