A manhunt is underway for five people suspected of beating a 92-year-old Los Angeles man and telling him to “go back to” Mexico, police have said.

Rodolfo Rodriguez, a legal US resident and grandfather living in the neighbourhood of Willowbrook, was out for his daily evening walk on 4 July when he reportedly, accidentally bumped into a woman walking along the same sidewalk with a child.

The woman proceeded to shove him to the ground and hit him over the head with a brick, according to Mr Rodriguez’s account of the incident.

Mr Rodriguez's neighbour, Misbel Borja, called the police and caught part of the incident on camera. Four men also allegedly kicked Mr Rodriguez several times, leaving his face and torso severely bruised and bleeding.
