What can you do if one of your family members (elder 60) gets beat up on the street for no reason...?

any legal actions or legal steps to take. The people who did it can be identified.

Call the police. File a complaint with whatever agency is charged with investigating elder abuse. If there was physical harm or damage to property, file a civil suit against the person(s), if they are worth suing civilly.

Contact the police and file a report on the crime since you are able to identify the defendants. They will take it from there. Most jurisdiction will keep you posted as the prosecuting progresses.
