A Rochester man captured by federal marshals yesterday has been charged with last December's fatal beating of a 76-year-old.
Police say 35-year-old Peter Scott was identified as the man who attacked Valeri Brintev on the front porch of a Norton Street house, beating and kicking him repeatedly.
Brintev suffered from dementia and used a walker.
He lived nearby, and police believe he may have been on the porch because he was confused about where he was.
Brintev died of his injuries in February.
Scott was arraigned last night and is being held on $100,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is set for tomorrow.
