Hi,
It seems like mesenteric ischemia. The old age and sudden development of cramping pain and bloody diarrhea are highly likely of this condition. He needs to be taken to a general surgeon and get a mesenteric angiogram done. Besides that it can also be a sigmoid volvulus, so just take him to a general surgeon as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
