James Benson cops Cops: Grandfather Attacked With Machete

Attacking a 76-year-old man with a machete is a heinous crime in itself -- but even more shocking is that cops say the attacker in this case was the man's own grandson. Police fear that with his grandfather's money in his pocket, he may try to flee the country.
