World War II Marine Corps Vet of 83, Fights Off Home Invader of 19
Marine vet, 83, fights off home invader, 19
YARMOUTH, Mass.
Yarmouth police say an 83-year-old World War II Marine Corps veteran fought off a 19-year-old man who broke into his home and attacked him with a glass candlestick.
Police say the suspect broke into the home at about 8:30 p.m. on Monday. The homeowner fought back and yelled to his wife, who called police, prompting the suspect to flee.
He was picked up a short time later, with blood on his shirt and items allegedly stolen from the home. Alan Menchin was held on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty to charges including assault and battery at his arraignment Tuesday.
The homeowner needed treatment for cuts and bruises. He asked not to be identified out of concern for his safety.
Lt. Steven Xiarhos said he was proud of the veteran for fighting off "a punk."
