Hialeah police Sgt. Carl Zogby said Alexander Javier Vega, 21, and an another armed man, also in his 20s, struck the 76-year-old man in the head with a gun and demanded money from him.
Zogby said the victim's 20-year-old granddaughter was in the home when she was confronted by the gunmen. Zogby said they were able to take some cash and jewelry before running out of the home.
A 911 call led to their apprehension a few blocks away, where police spotted them running.

Zogby said the suspects' names and charges will be forthcoming.
