BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Police arrested a Bed-Stuy man they say used a crutch to beat a 12-boy in an unprovoked and bizarre attack near Prospect Park last week, according to the NYPD.
Jamal McIlwain, 28, was arrested on charges of assault, menacing and injuring a minor on Wednesday, authorities said.
McIlwain stands accused of attacking the 12-year-old boy at the corner of Saint Paul's Place and Saint Paul's Court in Prospect Park South just after 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 17, police said.
The Bed-Stuy man had previously arrested for attempted murder, part of a lengthy rap sheet with 23 prior arrests, according to the Daily News, eventually serving nearly two years at upstate Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
According to PIX11, the boy said he is doing much better, but is still wondering why the man randomly attacked him.
"It’s weird how he ran across the street just to hit me," he told PIX11.
"I’m feeling better than a few days ago when I got hit. The eye used to be swollen very much," the 12-year-old boy shared with PIX11. "I didn’t do anything to him, so how come he has a grudge against me?"

Is he out on bail yet?
Hard to say.
In the 2000 census, Bedford-Stuyvesant was 75% black.
Now it's 46% black.
Lots of gentrification taking place.
Yes.
Someone stuck in bed.

So what? It’s New York...he’s loose already.

“Lots of gentrification taking place.”
Or the gangbangers’ aim is getting better.
Whatever that is.
Sinatra can have NYC.
Nothing that a .40 three shots of 135grain Hps won’t cure.
Please quit calling the black population Amish. It was a Freeper joke a long time ago but now it’s just dumb.
It’s a common lower income black name because of a fantasy history where they identified as Muslims. The Arabs and North African Muslims of course were the major slavers in Africa and probably captured and sold most of the ancestors of American blacks to the Europeans.
Be that as it may, I think it’s time to give black people a little more respect and stop this stuff with Amish (or Mormon, which was also popular here, although the original Mormons were pretty violent).
I feel bad for this kid, but the Dems devote their lives to defending violent behavior by certain groups and by the mentally ill, because for some reason this serves their purposes. Basically it destabilizes society, which is what the let wants.
