A Rialto grandfather is recovering at home after he was violently robbed at an ATM.
"That day in the morning, I got a text from my sister saying my dad was being robbed," said Astrid, the victim's daughter, who asked not to use her last name, nor name her dad.
He was attacked and robbed at a Bank of America on Central Avenue in Montclair around 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 16. "He was just taking out the card, not even have a chance to put the card in," his daughter said."The guy hit him from the back, took his card, and his wallet." Astrid's dad, still strong and independent and still working as a nurse, got his black belt in Taekwondo years ago, his daughter said.
"The adrenaline make him forget he's 72, I guess. My dad turned around, hit the guy in the back and go after him. The guy got into his truck. My dad tried to block the door from being closed. That's when he got shoved. And after that he said he doesn't remember anything.
