A 98-YEAR-OLD man is fighting for life after he was attacked in his north London home.

Peter Gouldstone was found beaten and bruised on the bedroom floor of his Enfield property by his son Simon on Tuesday evening, local time, following the violent robbery.

Simon said it was a horrible incident and the family was desperate for those responsible to be found.

“I don’t know how they can live with themselves, basically,” he said.

“I mean (he’s) 98-yeas-old... it’s absolutely appalling, isn’t it?

“The sooner they’re locked up the better.”

Met Police have appealed for information, describing the attack on the vulnerable pensioner as “brutal and senseless”.

A television and other personal possession were taken after the home was ransacked.

Mr Gouldstone remains in hospital with bruising and a head injury.
