The elderly gentleman who was the victim of a home invasion in Wellsford last night has been released from hospital.
He is bumped and bruised and is now recovering elsewhere, in the care of family members.
The man's family has advised that while they appreciate the public concern that has been shown for him, the gentleman doesn't wish to discuss his ordeal at this time, and ask that media please refrain from attemping to contact him.
