NEW YORK -- The NYPD is searching for the person who severely injured a 91-year-old man while trying to rob him on the Upper East Side last week.'I wasn't as easy a mark as he thought I would be because I was physically fighting him back,' Hyman Silverglad said.Silverglad spoke to CBS New York's Alecia Reid over the phone from his hospital bed at Mt. Sinai Morningside's trauma unit. 'Six broken ribs, incredibly painful.
'Adrenaline kicked in and Hyman Silverglad fought back against the attacker, a man nearly twice his size. Surveillance cameras captured images of the suspect on 86th Street near Second Avenue, last seen wearing a black coat and gray hat. 'He's not going to stop at my father. There are a lot of elderly New Yorkers. I'd like to get him off the street,' James Silverglad said.
