QUINCY, MA — A man is set to face charges Monday after police say he 'senselessly' attacked a 92-year-old man at a Quincy MBTA station over the weekend. MBTA Transit Police responded to the Quincy Center Station Saturday at 2:30 p.m. after receiving an assault report on an elderly man. Once police got to the station, they said they found the man bleeding from his head after being shoved from behind and onto the pavement while a concerned citizen helped try to control the bleeding. Through witnesses and surveillance, police identified Armando Hernandez, 49, of Boston in connection with the attack. Police reported Hernandez to be in an intoxicated state and noted he was uncooperative when they arrested and charged him with assault and battery on an elderly person. There was no connection to the two men, and police believe the attack was unprovoked. As of Monday morning, there has been no update of the 92-year-old's condition.
