An elderly man, who was badly beaten, is recounting the terrifying moments an intruder attacked him inside his Fort Lauderdale apartment. 75-year-old Norm is attempting to get back into his routine after he was beaten and left bruised over the weekend. “I thought he was going to kill me. He was very hardcore,” he said. According to police, 48-year-old Joseph Soini attacked the 75-year-old inside his apartment at Leisure Beach South on Fort Lauderdale Beach. “Give me your money. Give me your money. At first, I guess that’s probably another mistake I made. I said, well you know, I don’t have anything,” he said.” He kept beating me and choking me.” The building surveillance showed Soini go up in the elevator and then come back down and walk into Norm’s first-floor unit. Minutes later, Norm returned from taking out the trash. “Where I made my big mistake is I didn’t lock my door on the way out,” said Norm. Soini eventually stole Norm’s bike and car. Police tracked him down early Saturday in the car off of Federal Highway. According to court records, Soini has a three-decade-long criminal past including grand theft auto and burglary. He appeared in court on Sunday and was charged with grand theft auto. Soini is being held on a $15,000 bond at the Broward County Jail. Prosecutors are expected to file additional charges.
