A 92-year-old woman was knocked to the ground by a young man in a random, broad-daylight attack in Manhattan last week.
The victim was walking with a pushcart on Third Avenue near East 16th Street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood at about 3:30 p.m. Friday when the brute struck.
They were approaching each other from opposite directions when the man suddenly hit her in the head with his left hand, surveillance footage shows.
The woman tumbles hard to the ground — with the back of her head narrowly missing a fire hydrant.
The attacker coolly continues walking away as if nothing happened, at one point looking back at his victim.
There was at least one witness to the attack, a man on the sidewalk behind the woman. He appears to freeze in disbelief as the woman collapses, the video shows.

He was calculating the cost of losing his job and having his house looted if he intervened...

This is one of those times you really wish you were walking along behind that criminal and just happened to have a baseball bat. Be nice, fun even, to show him how it feels to be on the receiving end of a surprise physical attack. That is if he ever felt anything again.
What in Hades was a guy with 100 priors doing running around loose?!

Exactly! A registered sex offender too. At least they got him.
He’s been arrested and charged with assault.
They got him because an officer who had arrested him previously recognized the perp. I won’t print the rest of what I am thinking.
And somehow, it was Trump’s fault, ya’ know!
“Random”... I recall during the Fraud’s illegal reign, all terrorist attacks by ‘slams on Americans were dutifully called that by his adoring press.
I’m surprised they even ran this. The local NBC affiliate here in Raleigh used to run a daily mugshot parade on their web site. They stopped it in March because there just were to many, well, you know.
No calculations necessary.
The witness was walking behind the attacker and looking at his cellphone. Basically, the typical sidewalk zombie who, in this case, didn’t notice anything until after the attack was already over.
Where can I find the sauce that states that he was arrested?
A baseball bat is too good for this bastard. In another time and place, he’d be have received summary justice. Now?
Found it...

Brute?
Young man?
?????
I thought we were using ‘teen’?
Haha an 8kun guy :-)
Choke hold, can I, Can I?
Probably released without bail. He can put this on his resume when he applies for a job with de Blasio’s new police department.
