Balt. Co. Police Arrest Alleged Attacker Bitten By Cockeysville Victim

Baltimore County police say they're arrested a man in the assault of an 87-year-old at the victim's Cockeysville home.

Walter Ellwood Feldheim IV of the unit block of Cliffwood Road in Overlea is charged with first-degree assault and related offenses.

On Dec. 14, he allegedly knocked on the senior's door and claimed the man's well needed to be checked. The victim said nothing was wrong with the well and closed the door. That's when Feldheim allegedly grabbed his arm, pulled him to the ground and put his arm around the man's neck. He fled after the man bit him and the victim's wife punched him in the head.

Feldheim is being held on $500,000 bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
