A Florida man has been arrested and charged after he was caught on camera viciously punching an elderly shopper at a Walmart last month.
Joseph Albert McFadden, 34, has been accused of aggravated battery on elderly after he was seen brutally punching the victim twice in his face and fleeing the scene.
The unsettling attack occurred on October 11 at around 10am, as the victim, in his 80s, was leaving Walmart in Lauderdale Lakes with a shopping bag in his hands.
McFadden was arrested at another Walmart in the county last week after the store's security staff identified him and reported it to the police, according to the Miami Herald.
The 34-year-old from Lauderhill, Florida, remained at large for more than a month after the unprovoked attack, which was captured entirely by surveillance cameras at the store from different angles.
The victim 'suffered some cuts and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries,' sheriff's office spokesman Carey Codd told the Miami Herald.
'Detectives say the attacker did not steal anything from the victim, and the victim does not know the attacker and did not have words with him prior to the incident,' authorities said.
Surveillance footage captures McFadden emerging from the parking lot and confronting the victim just beyond the sliding doors of the Walmart store.
He swiftly punched the victim, who has not been identified, in his face twice without saying a word.
Then McFadden nonchalantly strolled away from the store's entrance, casually heading north on foot, as revealed by the footage.
He was seen in the video wearing a navy sweater with grey lettering on the front, black pants and flip flops.

OMG!! The DISGUSTING THUG IS BLACK!!! I AM SHOCKED!
It’s the Amish again, isn’t it?
/s
Uppity bastard, ain’t he.
Just what I figured.
I remember when Lauderdale Lakes was all retirees from NY. Now it’s da Caribbean, Mon.
Yes, Black people hate N _ G _ _ RS too.
I’ll bet the lettering on the sweater said, “I’m Uppity! I go to College”.
All Caribbeaners, huh?
IMO, attacks on the very elderly should automatically be treated as “premeditated attempted murder.”
Statistics clearly show that Blacks commit about 60% of all violent crime in America despite them being 14% of the population.
He was bound to punch out the first white guy he saw.
Because that's what he did and then left.
The suspect arrested.

So is the victim yet black lives don’t matter
It’s much higher than 60%
