79-year-old Al Marceau of Florida was visiting his family in Massachusetts when he says he was assaulted at a hotel. But he is facing charges.

Marceau was celebrating his 60th wedding anniversary with his family when, around 1:30 a.m., he says a wedding party in a Fall River hotel was making noise in the hallway.

He left to try and quiet them down and says the group began beating him up.

Police were called to the scene and the man was transported to a local hospital with some serious injuries.

“They tried to turn me over, I had my face down they were punching me at the top of my head,” said Marceau.

Police are still investigating and have charged Marceau as well as several men from the other group.
