An Olmsted County man is accused of severely beating his disabled father and stealing his wallet during a violent incident at his Rochester apartment late last month.
According to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday, 20-year-old Tongol Pal Ruach faces charges of first-degree assault, first-degree aggravated robbery and third-degree assault for the Aug. 28 attack at Central Towers.
Police were called to the apartment complex just before noon and found the victim, an adult male identified in reports as Ruach’s father, lying on the floor of his second-floor unit. Officers noted his mouth was bloodied, his eyes swollen shut and several teeth missing. The apartment showed signs of a struggle, with broken furniture, blood on the floor and walls, and scattered belongings.
