We don't usually post to much on here about personal issues. However the pensioner that was attacked was our 72 year old father. Not only did a metal ball bearing embedded in his arm and had to be removed by doctors under local anaesthetic it also left with a slight fracture he was also hit several times in the body. And with his serious heart condition this could have turned out far worse then it did. All this being said he is recovering very well and being stubborn as hell.
So if anyone has any information please contact kent police
