A 17-year-old boy allegedly assaulted a 78-year-old man last Monday morning in Zone 10.
The boy was arrested on charges of assault with grievous bodily harm.
It is alleged that the boy was stealing and when the elderly man tried to stop him running away carrying a plastic bag, he assaulted the man old enough to be his grandfather with a spade.
The police said the old man was rescued by residents.
The grandmother pleaded with the elderly man not to get the teenager arrested but he did.
The police said an investigation is underway.
