Daly City Elderly Beating Suspect Nabbed In Mexico

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch
DALY CITY (AP) ― Police say a Mexican man accused of beating and blinding an elderly Daly City woman during an attempted burglary of her home has been arrested.

Twenty-nine-year-old Jose Perez-Gonzalez was an illegal immigrant living in South San Francisco when the alleged attack happened Jan. 12.

Police say the 78-year-old victim surprised Perez-Gonzalez as he tried to pry open a rear sliding glass door to her house, thinking no one was home. He allegedly beat her in the face with the metal pry bar, leaving her blind and near death.

Police found the woman after responding to a silent burglar alarm.

Perez-Gonzalez was arrested last month in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico. He faces charges including attempted murder and attempted armed robbery in San Mateo County.
