Man attacks veteran over twice his age for not wearing a mask

A man wanted in Alaska on a drug charge and probation violation was arrested Saturday in Washington state and charged with assault for attacking a 72-year-old disabled veteran in a hotel lobby.

The catalyst for the attack was over coronavirus mask-wearing.

Cody P. Hansen, 35, the alleged cowardly attacker was arrested in his home in Spokane, WA on Saturday as police received an anonymous tip. The coward has been charged with second-degree assault over the incident.

Hansen is accused of attacking the disabled veteran in the lobby of the Red Lion Inn and Suites in Kent, WA on July 18th. Surveillance video caught Hansen, who was later identified, approach the disabled man who was sitting in the lobby with has support dog and cane nearby.

The video shows Hansen allegedly punching the man several times, knocking him unconscious and then walking away down the hall. The victim suffered a broken jaw in the assault, Q13 Fox reported.

The victim told the police that he had made a remark to Hansen’s girlfriend, who was not wearing a mask or facial covering in the hotel lobby. He said that Hansen returned later to the lobby and attacked him.

Not surprisingly, Hansen was also wanted in Alaska on a drug charge and probation violation and is being held at the Spokane County Jail. His bail is set at $10,000, which is better than New York where he would have been allowed to walk out of jail and probably never return.
