A man has been arrested for allegedly killing a century-old man who was found dead in his Los Angeles home.

The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement that the man suffered from "numerous contusions and lacerations" in his Encino residence on Thursday around 12:50 PM.

Youssef Mahboubianfar, the victim, was pronounced dead at the scene, and the police have arrested Adam Dimmerman in connection to the incident.

Police said Dimmerman was arrested shortly after killing the 100-year-old, then attacked someone else.

"The suspect was taken into custody without incident. An axe and a knife were covered at the scene," LAPD said in a news release.

Officials said that the other victim sustained minor injuries at the scene.

Mahboubianfar's grandson Jason Shakhib said the family has been left heartbroken following the incident. 

"I just thought he slipped and fell because he was an older man," Shakib said. "I had no idea there was a guy with a machete running around."
