91 year old Juan Llorens was just running an errand. He was walking down Broadway in Inwood when he was attacked and beaten with a cane. Security cameras capture the disturbing video.

The incident happened around 5pm on Friday. Saturday evening, Llorens told Fox 5's Kayla Mamelak he's luckily to be alive.

"I don't know who the man is and I've never seen him before," Llorens said.
