Disabled man assaulted and robbed by two men
http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI121327/
NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Miami-Dade Police said a disabled man was entering a parking lot when two male suspects took turns beating and robbing him while he was down.
On May 8, surveillance video captured 66-year-old Celedono Carrera riding his motorized wheelchair through the parking lot of his apartment complex when a young man ran up behind him. "He threw me from the wheelchair, and I fell to the floor. I punched him here, and I busted his lip, and I began fighting with him," said Carrera, a retired truck driver who has had several strokes and a heart attack.
The young man punched and kicked Carrera multiple times before another assailant showed up right after. Police believe the two robbers got away with his chain and medallion.
Carrera sustained injuries to his arm and back. He believes the men targeted him after he visited a friend at the University of Miami hospital and followed him on the Metrorail back to his home in the Ward Towers on Northwest 53rd Street. "They're there watching the elderly and those who are handicap to rob them," said Carrera.

Disabled woman victim of washing up liquid attack in Barrow street
http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/barrow/disabled_woman_victim_of_washing_up_liquid_attack_in_barrow_street_1_569186?referrerPath=sport/
A DISABLED woman was squirted with washing up liquid and had an egg hurled at her in a random attack.
Police have described it as a nasty assault on a vulnerable member of the public.
They are appealing for the public’s help in tracking down the callous pair who carried out the unprovoked attack.
Detectives say the woman was heading along Cambridge Street, Barrow, about 9.15pm on Monday when a black car came to a sudden halt next to her.
A man in his 20s leapt out and squirted Fairy Liquid in the woman’s hair and all over her scooter before jumping back in the car.
His female accomplice then hurled an egg but it narrowly missed the already frightened woman. The pair then sped off at high speed from the scene.
