BALTIMORE — It was just a regular Saturday afternoon for David Philpot.
The 74-year-old was out taking his dog, Chip, for a daily walk around their Fells Point neighborhood.
Tragically, it would be David's last walk.
Just before 3pm David was approached by a man, who reportedly asked for some money.
After David said he had none, the man violently pushed him to the ground.
David was left with a broken hip along with several contusions and lacerations to the body.
Before passing away at a local hospital, David got to speak with his wife Mary Margaret.
"He doesn’t call me when I’m working. So I’m like, ‘uh-oh, something’s wrong," she recalled in an exclusive interview with WMAR-2 News.

The entire incident was caught on camera by a local business.
"He said the man took his legs by the ankles and bent his legs over his head. What kind of person does that," asked Mary Margaret.
Thanks to a tip from a witness, investigators identified the suspect as Timothy Carl Clinedinst Jr.
He was arrested the next day on North Point Boulevard in Baltimore County.
Charging documents say Clinedinst confessed to the attack, admitting to being the person seen on camera assaulting David.
The Medical Examiner's Office ultimately ruled David's death a homicide.
"The victim's prior health issues were exacerbated by the assault which led to his death," police wrote in charging documents.
According to Mary Margaret, David had pulmonary hypertension.
"The last words that he said were, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. I'm gonna pass out.," Mary Margaret told us. "I just want everyone to know this man did a horrible thing to a wonderful person.
