66-year-old Georgia man beaten with a sledge hammer after opening his door to a fake Amazon delivery.
George Hardison was at his Savanah home on the morning of January 11th when he heard a knock on his door. He looked out to see what he thought was 2 Amazon employees and assumed he was receiving a package.
Once Hardison opened the door for the delivery, the 2 men forced their way into the home and began to violently attack the 66-year-old man. The assailants proceeded to beat Hardison with a sledge hammer for approximately 8 minutes while demanding money.
Security footage captured audio of the harrowing ordeal. In the footage, Hardison can be heard screaming for help throughout.
Eventually neighbors heard his cries and came running to help. Sadly, they arrived to late and discovered Hardison badly beaten. The theives had made off with a meagerly $80 from the injured elderly man.
George Hardison ultimately needed 14 staples in his head as a result of the attack.
Amazon released a statement reminding the public that their drivers will never knock on your door or ask for a signature unless it has been prearranged with your full knowledge.
