An elderly man died after he was assaulted by a fellow resident of a Bronx nursing home, police said Friday.

Officers were called to Pinnacle Multicare Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Co-Op City about 6:30 p.m. for an assault, cops said.

When they arrived, they found an 83-year-old resident of the home face down and unconscious with severe trauma to his head.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police believe an 87-year-old resident entered the victim’s room and repeatedly smashed his head on the concrete floor.
 
The suspect, who police sources say suffers from dementia, was taken into custody.
 
His charges were pending late Friday night.
