He knew they were coming to get him. But even though Celedono Carrera could not run away, he was determined to fight back. Fight he did.
The Miami-Dade Police Department is asking for the public's help in finding the two teenagers who beat and robbed the 66-year-old wheelchair bound Florida man.
The crime, which occurred Friday, May 8, and in broad daylight, was captured on security tape. The video, which runs less than a minute, shows Carrera in a motorized wheelchair being pursued by the first of his attackers, who police say is 17-years-old.
The teenager quickly catches up to Carrera and reaches for his necklace. Carrera struggles with the young man. But he is no match for the robber, who violently pulls him off the wheelchair and throws him on the ground. The suspect then repeatedly strikes Carrera. After repeated attempts, he steals Carrera's wallet.

Show of hands, how many people would have liked to have been there?

Friggin animals...they both need their heads busted in. But even if they are caught, they will be out before the paperwork is done to rob and prey on victims again.
He liked to party, so some biker he knew started bringing him to the bike rallies.
Only thing was, when he got drunk, he got mouthy.
He got into it (verbally) w/some biker who at 1st tried to avoid him. But he kept following and catching up to him and mouthing more. Eventually this biker had his fill and cold cocked him. Right there in his chair. Started one of the biggest brawls I've ever seen.
I saw this on the news last night. Too bad he wasn't packin'.[:(] Somebody neglected to whip them boys arses when they were small.
Ill bet he fixes that packin prob real quick.
Why didn't anybody come to his aid with all those people around. That was just as bad as those animals.
Not saying they shouldn't have helped him, but a man should not be forced into a situation where others need to come to his aid. Never forget to be prepared
