An 81-year-old suffered serious injuries in January after a confrontation inside a Dillard’s dressing room at North Star Mall.

A 31-year-old man has been arrested and faces charges in connection with throwing an 81-year-old man down an escalator at North Star Mall in January. Daymein Garcia was arrested Monday and is at the Travis County jail waiting to be extradited, San Antonio police said in a Facebook post.

On Jan. 27, the older man suffered serious injuries, including a broken finger, head injuries and bruised ribs after a confrontation inside a Dillard’s dressing room. The man, who was not identified, went to the changing room to try on a sweater. When he went to open a handicapped changing room, he found that someone was in there. A small confrontation ensued between the man and the woman inside the changing room. He told police she said, “It’s a female changing room,” and he responded, “No, it’s a handicap changing room.” Shortly after, the woman inside the changing room told her mom and a man about the confrontation. He then walked around the store looking for the elderly man. The elderly man was going up the escalator when the other man yanked him down, causing several injuries. The woman and her mother were also present at the time of the assault.
