He kind of looks like that crime reporter for The Argus.

What a relief that they caught this guy. The story goes online at noon on the 13th and by 11 the next morning he’s in custody. So what motivates a 22 year old guy to beat up a 75 year old lady? Drugs?

Also nice that his face, full name and where he lives are out there. Nothing like good old fashioned public scorn.
