Manhunt underway for suspect who attacked elderly woman
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Detectives with the Orange County Sheriff's Office are going door to door in one area of the county -- to both homes and businesses -- handing out flyers and alerting residents to a man who attacked an elderly woman in her home.
A week ago, a man knocked on the door of the 92-year-old victim's home, just off of Hiawassee Rd., asking if he could use her bathroom. When she said refused to let him in, detectives said the man pulled out a gun, forcing his way into the home.
The woman fought back back, but deputies said that's when the suspect threw her to the ground, breaking her back. She remains in intensive care.
Now, authorities are distributing a sketch of the suspect, and they are asking anyone with information about this case to contact Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
