A 72-year-old greeter at Wal-Mart is recovering from injuries in the hospital after being punched in the face near Pittsburgh Tuesday night.
Police say Thomas Jenkins was greeting people at the entrance to the Wal-Mart store in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, when another man punched him, knocking him to the ground.
The suspect, Vince DiCenzo, 55, was arrested but claims he didn’t do it. Police say they have no motive. Police say they arrested the man within 10-15 seconds of the crime because they happened to be in the area.
Jenkins is being treated for broken facial bones.
