A man was left in a Bronx street in the middle of the day after a brutal punch knocked him out, leaving him behind for people to pick his pockets and take pictures of him while he's unconscious, authorities say.
Police say two attackers walked up to the 37-year-old man last Monday morning in the area of Aqueduct Avenue and Buchanan Place in University Heights. One of the suspects wound up and delivered a knockout blow on the victim, who then fell to the ground in the middle of the intersection.
The attackers then walked away, leaving the unconscious man alone, according to the NYPD. Video shows the pair walking away from the scene and high-fiving each other with grins on their faces.
Moments later, others walk up to the victim and go through his pockets, swiping his cellphone and ID, authorities said.
Cops claim the two attackers then returned and took photos of the victim as he lay unconscious on the ground.
The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he is in critical condition. He is suffering from a fractured skull.
White guy just standing in the crosswalk. Two black men come up to him and one suddenly punches him down to the ground. He doesn't get up. Out cold.
They walk away and other black people go through his pockets, taking his things. One takes his cell phone.
The two attackers come back; take close up photos of the poor victim lying there--could be dead... Who knows? They laugh and high-five each other on the way out.
News reporters describe the color of the attacker's hat, clothes shoes but not--ever--the color of his skin.
Great city.
Do we need to look at the video?
No, I didn’t think so
The key defense here is situational awareness.
The likelihood of being able to draw from CCW in time to defend against this kind of attack is small, unless you’ve already made evasive maneuvers.
Liberals explain this away by saying "race is irrelevant" and "race is a social construct" in the thousands upon thousands of black on white violent crimes that are perpetrated in America every year. However, in those freakishly rare man-bites-dog instances where a black is a victim of a white violent criminal, race is evidently no longer "irrelevant" or "a social construct."
Theyre probably Dominican gang members like the thugs that hacked to death that Dominican 15 year old last week. One of them is black, and the other has lighter skin (actually, it looked like he had light brown hair and beard, although its hard to tell from some of those videos) but they both had that gang-banger walk.
Most likely one of Maxine’s posse.
Yeah but what gets me is the cops tell the reporter to be on the look out for them. But no racial description; just clothing. As if they couldn’t change.
Be on the lookout for two guys. Can’t say further, except one was wearing a yellow hat.
One of the attackers appears to be white or very light skinned. I think theyre Dominican gang members.
De Blasio put a stop to the cops gang-member database because he said too many minorities were in it! They cops are asking for permission to start it up again, especially after things lIke this and the machete attack on that non-gang-member 15 year old boy last week.
Its never occurred to the racist, socialist, idiot mayor that the victims of these gangs are also usually minorities, and all of us, minority or not, would like some protection from the gangs.
They've already outlawed prospective racial profiling, so bans on retrospective profiling (i.e. when the perp's race is already known) will certainly be next. Usually insane trends start in the mass media and trickle down to other areas of society, including law enforcement.
Obama's sons are all grown up!
“race is irrelevant” and “race is a social construct”
My 38 is a “social construct” too.
“The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he is in critical condition. He is suffering from a fractured skull.”
Hope he is a democrat. In that shithole odds are he is.
You’re a racist for noticing./sarc
There was a story a while back about a pro-immigration socialist politician in some Scandinavian country who would take "refugees" into his home. A group of African immigrants wound up gang-raping him, and he told the press something about the attack being his own fault, because his implicit "white privilege" justifiably provoked him. That's how far gone these people are.
Early reparations? I mean after they were just unshackled from their slavery right?
I saw a video a couple of years ago of a white man leaving a pub in the Baltimore harbor area being attacked by a gang of blacks...male and female.
One guy swipes his keys, the white guy walks up to him to ask for his keys back...the black guy sucker punches him, knocking him out cold.
Then the hyena pack mentality overcomes the crowd of blacks. They jump on his out cold body, a black girl takes off her high heel shoe and starts smacking him with it, one after another clean out his pockets then pull his trousers off of him. They left him writhing around on the street without his pants on.
I hated watching that video, it infuriated me. The guy had no chance.
This wasnt a hate crime, was it? Especially the returning and taking glamour shots?
Reminds me of the Iraqis in Mosul dragging our boys through the streets then stringing them up on a bridge.
Not a hate crime though.
What they fail to report tells us all we need to know.
