VIDEO: New York Panhandler Hurls Brick at 63-Year-Old Man’s Face
Breitbart ^ | September 22, 2021 | NICK GILBERTSON

A panhandler allegedly threw a brick at a 63-year-old handyman outside of a bagel shop in the lower east side of New York the morning of September 15.

Video of the attack, which took place around 8 a.m., shows the man holding a chair menacingly over the victim before he put the chair down and punched the victim with a right hook. He then appears to wrestle to the ground the victim, who works as a handyman for the bagel shop Kossar’s Bagel & Bialys.

The surveillance video cut to another angle in which the 63-year-old was protecting himself from the panhandler while wielding a stick at which point, the assailant apparently grabbed a brick and hurled it at the man from a point-blank distance. After striking the victim in the face, the panhandler walked away from the scene.

The “suspect has actually come around many times before, asking for money,” according to Natalie Duddridge of CBS New York. The manager “says she’s even given him food to appease him, but this time he was harassing customers, so a staff member asked him to leave and that’s when he attacked.”

The handyman, “approached him and said, ‘You should move on. We can get you a bagel, can get you a coffee,’” the shop’s manager told the New York Daily News. “Because we normally do that when you see a homeless person out there. … The guy took offense, it seems, to it and he attacked, unfortunately, one of my guys.”

So why didn’t all the employees in the bagel shop run out and give the bum what for? All the guy had to do is yell, and help would have been at hand.

That was the mistake right there - get them used to handouts and they'll go berserk when the handouts stop or are less than they expect. "Homeless" in the US means mentally disturbed and/or drug-addled and giving them handouts is as unwise as feeding bears at Yellowstone. Nothing good will come from it - not for the bears, not for you.

It seems like nowadays that would only gather a crowd shooting video of the beating.

“If you see him, do not approach because he could be violent”. Gee, you think?

It's NYC, the bum might wind up owning the bagel shop.

LOL, I think if I ever had the guts, I would love to say, “You know that’s funny, I was just going to ask you if you had any spare change on you.”

Don’t feed the hobos.

They hang around and then you have to get a hobo trap which is a big steel pipe and then you use some crack for bait and then you catch him and you have to take him to Del Rio Texas to release him back into his natural environment where he can get some welfare donuts or something.

If you are going to approach the bums, don't be Mr. Nice Guy. Be defensively prepared (at all times) and tell them to GTFO!

My response: See brick, BANG!
