An elderly man becomes the victim of a brutal carjacking as he’s dragged and beaten on the scene. It happened Monday afternoon in the parking lot of pocket communications at Stuart Place and Expressway 83 in Harlingen. Apparently the man had gone to pick-up his grandson from work when a male individual approached him and asked to use his cell phone. That’s when police say the elderly man was attacked and had his truck stolen form him. The man was beaten badly and dragged a short distance when the suspect took off with the victim’s 1996 green f-150 pick-up truck. The truck has Texas plate number 72S-PT7. Anyone with information is asked to contact Harlingen Police at 425-8477.
