Vigilante Attack in West Chester Leads to $1 Million Bail for Suspect

WEST CHESTER, PA — Ahmad Wasfi Al-Azzam, a 26-year-old from Uwchlan, Chester County, is facing severe charges after allegedly attacking a 73-year-old man in his West Chester home.

The victim, who sustained serious injuries, was also robbed during the attack. Al-Azzam is connected to other similar assaults in Phoenixville and Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Currently held on $1 million bail, Al-Azzam awaits a preliminary hearing on July 12, while the investigation continues. Expanded Story at Daily Local News
