SAN RAFAEL (CBS SF) -- An elderly man was left with severe injuries in a brutal assault in San Rafael and a suspect was arrested in the case, police said Friday.

The assault happened on May 30 in the area of Second Street and Irwin Street. San Rafael police said officers and firefighters responded at about 1:30 p.m. to multiple calls about an elderly man covered in blood and asking for help.
