A 41-year-old Lakewood man has been arrested for severely beating and robbing a 75-year-old woman, police said.
The injured woman, who was not identified by police, works for a business that provides transportation to casinos in Central City and Black Hawk.
The woman was assaulted and robbed outside the transport company, 5960 West Alameda Ave., at about 1 p.m. on Thursday, said Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis.
