The 87-year-old confronted a group of teenagers who were jumping in bushes at the front of his Waikanae Beach property on the weekend.
He asked them to move along, but one of the youths verbally abused then struck him, pushing him off-balance.
Detective Mike Stone said the man had been shoved into the ground hitting his face on the road. "He fractured his cheekbone, had deep lacerations to his forehead and extensive bruising to his face and arms,'' said Mr Stone.
He was taken to hospital overnight after he was found lying on the road bleeding by a neighbour.
"The attack was horrendous and cowardly on a frail and brittle old man,'' he said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
