In Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, video shows a 69-year-old man being violently attacked and robbed just a day after Christmas.

CHICAGO -- A 69-year-old man is recovering after a brutal attack was captured on camera just a day after Christmas in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.

The suspect went through his pockets, and after that, the beating continued. This all took place near a stretch of restaurants and shops. Chicago police said the offenders got away with some of the man's belongings. The victim refused medical attention."It's unfortunate people are suffering from crime, especially someone who is elderly," said Myron, who didn't want to give his last name. He was visiting friends in the neighborhood."I think people need jobs so they don't have to get violent to get what they need for their own personal families," said Anna Rose Epstein, who lives in Uptown.
