MCSO spokesperson Adam Linhardt said Keefe confronted the victim in a parking lot over a traffic dispute and pushed him to the ground.
Medics took the victim to Mariners Hospital in Tavernier and later to a hospital in Miami-Dade County due to the extent of his injuries, Linhardt said.
Authorities said the senior’s injuries weren’t life-threatening, however.
Keefe, arrested on a charge of battery on a person over 65, was being held in MCSO’s jail facility on Plantation Key Tuesday.
Jail records show he had not yet been given bond as of Tuesday afternoon.
Keefe has had multiple run-ins with the law in the Florida Keys; court records show he previously pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery charges in both 2001 and 2005.
He also has a checkered driving history in the island chain; Keefe pleaded no contest to driving under the influence in 2004 and has been cited at least twice for speeding. He most recently pleaded no contest to running a stop sign in 2022, court records show.
