A 28-year-old man has been charged over the alleged brutal bashing of Emilio Lombardi.
The 84-year-old remains in a serious condition in Royal Perth Hospital after he was allegedly attacked outside of his Henry Street home on Sunday night.
Cannington Detectives arrested the 28-year-old Seville Grove man and a 24-year-old Armadale man on Thursday as part of their ongoing investigation.
The Seville Grove man is also accused of punching and robbing a man in Cannington, indecently assaulting a woman in East Cannington and hitting a woman with a metal sign in Beckenham between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on the same night as the alleged attack on the 84-year-old man.
The 28-year-old was refused bail and is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court today.
The 24-year-old Armadale man has been charged over several criminal damage incidents that also took place on the Sunday night.
