Brothers Arrested In Beating Of Blind Man

Two brothers, both teenagers, have been arrested for allegedly beating and robbing a 50-year old blind man in Mt. Clemens.

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel reveals that the 16 and 17-year old brothers live near the North River Road area where Dan Perron was beaten with his own cane Tuesday evening.

A hearing was to be held Saturday in Macomb County Juvenile Court for one of the teens. The second brother may be arraigned Monday.

Sheriff Hackel says the boys' parents are cooperating with authorities.

Perron is doing well. A local business and a law enforcement group have given Perron the 600-dollars stolen by his attackers.
