A St Francis Bay resident resident in his 70s was hit over the head with a golf stick today in his garden by a man wanting food or money late this afternoon.
Two men were reportedly in his Santareme garden after 4 pm and while the home owner was talking and confronting them, one of the men allegedly went into the house and grabbed a golf stick. The elderly man managed to get away and apparently shouted out, alerting neighbours who came to his aid.
The men managed to get away and police are looking for them.
A local doctor attended to the resident who thereafter went to Humansdorp Hospital for further treatment.
