An elderly man was left with several broken bones after a robbery last week in downtown Las Vegas.

The man was robbed just before noon on April 3 as he walked through a drugstore parking lot on the 1100 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South, police said. The robber pushed the man to the ground and took his property before pedaling off on a red BMX bike.

The man was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where doctors discovered his broken bones.
