A man was arrested for beating a 71-year-old man with a shovel in Brooklyn following a major snowstorm, cops told the New York Daily News. Sean Abt, 24, was busted Tuesday and charged with assault two days after police released images of the suspect and asked the public’s help in tracking him down. The elderly victim was on Stryker Court and W. First St. in Gravesend around 8:25pm on Dec. 27 when Abt struck him in the face with the shovel, cops said, adding that medics rushed the victim to Coney Island Hospital in stable condition.
