A stranger bashed a 25-year-old woman in the head with a baseball bat in an apparently unprovoked attack in Chelsea this month, cops said as they released the first images of the brute.
The victim was walking on Seventh Avenue near West 23rd Street around 10 p.m. Feb. 8 when the menace suddenly struck her with the weapon, authorities said.
The senseless assault left herwith a cut and bruising, and she was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.

“Doesn’t look much like a baseball bat in the video.”

But it probably felt like one.
this is a level of acceptance and I think this crowd thinks its cool and chic to be targeted and to suffer....then they get to complain over cocktails....
Random...unprovoked...senseless.... A mental image is forming....
1954- President: “Operation Wetback”.
lol - an Amish baseball player.
And Bragg is still pursuing Daniel Penny, the guy who saved subway passengers on a subway train by putting the violent perp in choke-hold, with murder charges

Its hard to fathom what goes on in the liberal mind. I worked around lots of them and never ceased to be amazed at how they can block out facts, logic and common sense. Mostly they just emote.
The people of NY walk around unarmed are like fish in a barrel. When will we see vigilantes rise up, or maybe a Batman.
“Doesn’t look much like a baseball bat in the video.”
Obviously the writer has no idea what a baseball bat looks like. The attack took place on the upper West side. Pretty ritzy neighborhood. That should get a quick police response.
Where’s his straw hat and rake?
“The attack took place on the upper West side.”
West 23rd St isn’t the Upper West Side
Perhaps a Fungo Bat, but it does look more like a metal baton or pipe.
Remember the days when a large group of people would attend a baseball game, and as an enticement for fans to come to the stadium, the team would hand out fungo bats, which were often given to little boys who prized it for years afterwards?
Then, when the violent criminals began to take over, that went the way of the Dodo pretty quickly.
Today, we can only view that practice with amazement, and think “My gosh, who ever thought that was a good idea?”
It was a good idea once, when there was civility in the civilization.
The word "random" in the headline told me everything.
Exactly. Like fish in a barrel. And my putrid, blue state is trying to get me, and people like me, into that same barrel.
I was right...as usual.
I would go with pipe except she is still alive and a pipe to the head should have killed her.
Paging Paul Kersey....
DA Alvin Bragger dropped all charges, agreeing with the man that it was reasonable that he mistook her head for a baseball.
Random? I doubt it. I didn’t see a picture of the victim, but I’d guess he attacked the first white or Asian person he came to in an area where he thought he could get away with it.
