HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -

The Hollywood Police Department has arrested a man who they say robbed a home and attacked the 91-year-old man who lived there.

Floyd Nathan was arrested Wednesday night and taken to the Broward County Jail.

The attack happened at about 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 20.

Police said the victim's wife was doing yard work when Nathan parked nearby and entered the home through the side door.

Video from a security camera at a neighbor's home captured Nathan parking, walking up to the home, then leaving through the front door and driving away in a white Mitsubishi Gallant, police said.

Police said that while inside the home, Nathan attacked Sidney Lee, 91, hitting him several times.

Police said Nathan got away with a wallet and some other items.

The arrest came after a tip was called into Crime Stoppers.  Police said Nathan is also linked to the crime scene by physical evidence.
